About
Please join us for a Kentucky Derby inspired evening in support of the Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) community!
Out of the gate, it’s going to be a great evening as we sip mint juleps, in our best fascinators, to fund a cure for T1D!
No need to bridle your enthusiasm for our cause while we enjoy the auctions, dinner and dancing all to benefit JDRF. Join the other Champions for a Cure, to make strides toward turning Type 1 in Type None!
