ABOUT JDRF    JDRF is the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.  JDRF’s goal is to progressively remove the impact of diabetes from people’s lives until we achieve a world without T1D.  JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners and is the only organization with the scientific resources, regulatory influence and a working plan to bring life-changing therapies from the lab to the T1D community.

 

SUPPORT THE GALA    Align with an organization that supports your philanthropic goals, as well as your business footprint.  Individual tickets are $300 and sponsorship and underwriting opportunities range from $5,000 - $50,000.  As one of the city’s most successful fundraising events, your sponsorship generates a valuable visibility and increased brand awareness.

 

FUND A CURE    Fund A Cure is an opportunity to make a direct impact on the lives of people living with T1D through a 100% tax-deductible donation in support of JDRF’s mission.  Gala patrons will have the opportunity to make a Fund A Cure donation during the special presentation at the JDRF Promise Ball.  Donations can also be made online or by mail if you are unable to attend.
