Carver SmithWe had a wonderful turnout at our Breakthrough T1D Annual Meeting on June 28 where immediate past president, Tammy Ferry, passed the gavel to our new incoming Board President, Carver Smith.

As shared at the meeting by Carver, the evening’s theme was about “taking it to the next level” – and we will do that by optimizing our resources, putting the donor at the center of our work, thinking big, making the ask…and making it a fun partnership that makes a difference.

Carver is taking the initiative and leading by example by aspiring to raise $20,000 in support of his family’s participation in the Breakthrough T1D Ride to Cure Diabetes.  Both him, and his daughter Kiley, who has T1D, look forward to participating in their first ride in La Crosse this August. Carver also invites you to join him at the “Raise a Glass for Breakthrough T1D” event at Café Hollander (at The Corners of Brookfield) on July 18.  Please note:  You must register for this event, as seating is limited.  We hope to see you there!
