JDRF is the leading global organization focused on type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. Driven by passionate, grassroots volunteers connected to children, adolescents, and adults with this disease, JDRF is now the largest charitable supporter of T1D research. The goal of JDRF research is to improve the lives of all people affected by T1D by accelerating progress on the most promising opportunities for curing, better treating, and preventing T1D. JDRF collaborates with a wide spectrum of partners who share this goal.

While significant advances have been made in diabetes research, JDRF needs your support to transform the dream for a cure into reality. In the last four years, the Houston Gulf Coast Chapter Promise Ball has raised nearly 4 million dollars for vital research.  Join us for the Men on a Mission: 2012 Promise Ball on Saturday, April 14, 2012 and help the 3 million Americans living with T1D realize their dreams of a diabetes free world.
