Dream Gala

DREAM GALA EXPERIENCE 


Sophisticated and Fun...

There is no other way to describe the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) Dream Gala. This high-profile event attracts more than 650 guests each year - including many representatives of leading Kansas City businesses and organizations.

Partnering with JDRF not only provides an excellent opportunity to entertain clients and friends, it also offers valuable networking opportunities. Recently named one of the 'top two national fundraising events' in Kansas City by The Independent!  "The gala is a great opportunity to introduce people to JDRF - it is THE place to be," according to Chiefs' player, Jared Allen.

Dream Gala offers a grand array of one-of-a-kind live and silent auction items, an auctioneer that will have you on the edge of your seat and national entertainment that will keep you dancing all night long.

 

Dream with Us...

It's been more than 37 years since a determined group of parents vowed to do whatever it takes to find a cure for type 1 diabetes.

Today, that passionate activism continues to drive our organization as we work diligently towards the cure. Our mission is simple: to find a cure for diabetes and its complications through the support of research.

Thanks to this unflagging effort, JDRF has directed more than $1 billion to diabetes research. Our donors have been the driving force behind groundbreaking advances, including islet transplantation, beta cell regeneration and the treatment and prevention of complications.

We are on the brink of a cure and your support of this year's Dream Gala will help us be known as the people who cured diabetes.
