COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR Maria, pictured with son Luke, who was diagnosed 2/5/10, Maria attended her first gala two months after Luke's diagnosis and got through the very emotional evening. Lucky for JDRF, she and her husband have been involved ever since.
JODI PALAMIDES
COMMITTEE CO-CHAIR Jodi pictured with son Jay, who was diagnosed on 2/12/03 at the age of 7. Our JDRF partnership has a long history. Initially, our family was active with Walk. I then became the first Outreach Manager for our Western PA Chapter. My most active volunteer role over the years has been with Gala; co-chairing twice! Fund-A-Cure is closest to our hearts, and we continue to share a legacy of giving for our family.
