Dear JDRF Supporter,

In these uncertain times, one thing remains clear: our shared mission to cure type 1 diabetes (T1D). Please click here to see a video message from our JDRF Western Pennsylvania Board President and fellow T1D, Joe Dowd, regarding some exciting news for the 2020 Promise Gala!

As we extend this event to an online platform, we are hoping to you will join us for the following:

• May 13 : The Online Auction Opens
On Wednesday at noon, we’ll open our silent auction online, where you can bid on nearly 50 incredible packages. Follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay up-to-date on some of our featured items!

• May 15 : Join Us for Our 28th Annual Promise Gala Program
While we cannot meet and celebrate together in person for this year’s Gala, we still can make a huge impact on the T1D community! We are working hard to bring key pieces online which should provide us with entertainment through the bidding wars, while reminding us of our mission and to continue to raise much needed dollars for JDRF research. We will premiere a special video, including messages from our Fund a Cure speaker, Corporate Chair, and a few other surprise guests!

• May 16 : Silent Auction Bidding Closes
On Saturday, our auction will be coming to a close at noon—make sure to get your final bids in! In addition, Fund A Cure donations remain a 100% tax deductible way to fund the most promising T1D research.

If you are able, all gifts are welcome and deeply appreciated during this time. We believe that uniting as a community during this time will be unique, but is full of opportunity. Because of you, we will continue making a significant impact toward improving lives of those we love. Because of you, we will embrace new ways to celebrate the resiliency and dedication of a community that is #StrongerTogether. Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks.

Thank you,
The JDRF Western Pennsylvania Staff Team
