We cannot wait to see our guests back in the ballroom in St. Louis and Kansas City this spring for the 2023 Dream Galas! With Dream Galas right around the corner, we want to make sure you’re updated on all things Gala including Fund A Cure, remote bidding, volunteering and more!

Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for all gala updates leading up to this year’s events.

Fund A Cure

Make your Fund A Cure gift today! Fund A Cure is an opportunity to make an impact on the lives of people living with T1D and their loved ones through a 100% tax deductible donation, which will accelerate life-changing research. Fund A Cure donations will be invested in JDRF’s effective and focused research agenda aimed to progressively remove the impact of T1D from people’s lives until there is a cure. For any questions regarding Fund A Cure, please reach out to Tori Freeman at (vfreeman@jdrf.org).

This year, JDRF is recognizing Fund A Cure donors and their T1D champions on our Wall of Hope. The Wall of Hope will be featured online and in person at the Dream Gala. Check out the St. Louis Wall of Hope and Kansas City Wall of Hope to learn more about how you can be featured!
