WE’RE BACK! The JDRF One Night Gala will bring back our incredible San Diego T1D community in-person in support of the organization that has contributed more than 2.5 billion dollars to type 1 diabetes (T1D) research since its inception in 1970. The evening will include hosted cocktails, a three-course dinner, a premier silent and live auction, as well as Fund A Cure where all donations go directly to research.

BioLeslie Bercovitz
Leslie, along with her husband Jacob, became involved with JDRF in San Diego more than 20 years ago, shortly after their son Yaniv was diagnosed with T1D at age 9. “Funding vital research to cure T1D is what inspires us to support JDRF in the hope that this disease becomes a thing of the past.” She and Jacob have sponsored a table at the San Diego Promise Ball every year since then and were honored at the gala in 2017. In 2020, Leslie chaired the JDRF San Diego Promise Ball and met the challenge of quickly adapting it to the chapter’s first virtual gala. In 2021, Leslie co-chaired the first combined Southern California virtual gala.
Since 2019, Leslie has been a member of the JDRF San Diego Board of Directors (now the San Diego Community Board of the JDRF Southern California Chapter).
Leslie enjoys spending time with her family, which includes husband Jacob, their son Yaniv, daughters Elise and Ilana, son-in-law Alex, and grandchildren Asher and Zuri. Her hobbies include painting and yoga.
Ways to Give
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.
