As we all adjust to our rapidly changing world and the impact of coronavirus to our communities, we wanted to reach out and let you know that our primary goal remains the same during this challenging time: supporting our T1D community and continuing every effort to end T1D.

One Party Gala May 9^th – Postponed

JDRF has taken the precautionary measure of postponing all in-person gatherings until June 30, 2020.  Therefore, our JDRF One Party Gala scheduled for May 9, 2020 is now postponed. Our aim is to ensure for the safety and well-being of our supporters. Once the coronavirus has subsided, we will look to identify a new date.

 

Staying Connected

Now, more than ever, is a great time to join one of our online T1D Facebook groups! These virtual communities allow you to connect with other T1D’s and T1D caregivers.  We also look forward to the addition of special guests speaking on topics that range from T1D research advancements to the psychosocial aspects of living with T1D (especially when sheltering in place!). See details below:
