What the Evening Looks Like
The night opens with a cocktail hour featuring live jazz, followed by dinner and a live auction. The centerpiece of the evening is the Fund A Cure paddle raise, where attendees can contribute directly to Type 1 Diabetes research and advocacy. After the paddle raise, the event continues with an after-party dance celebration.

Where Every Dollar Goes
Breakthrough T1D, formerly known as JDRF, directs every dollar raised toward critical research, advocacy initiatives, and community education aimed at improving treatment and working toward a cure for Type 1 Diabetes.
