This memorable, elegant, black-tie-optional evening will honor all children living with type 1 diabetes. It will include silent and live auctions, an elegant dinner, dancing, and JDRF’s special “fund a cure” opportunity—whereby everyone in the audience can help JDRF find a cure.

With JDRF’s focus on finding a cure for type 1, our fervent wish is that the children we recognize at the 2012 Hope Gala will see a cure for this disease in their lifetimes.

The Hope Gala will begin at 5:30 pm on February 25, 2012, with a reception and silent auction. Dinner, the live auction, and the program will begin at 7:30 pm, with dancing to the music of the Phase Band commencing after that.
