An Evening to Benefit Type 1 Diabetes

Saturday, May 22, 2021

 

About the Event

The Promise Ball will be held virtually on Saturday, May 22nd with an exciting backdrop, “Escape to Margaritaville”! We will celebrate the evening virtually by sharing stories of inspiration and hope, important advances in research and expressing gratitude to our supporters all while raising critical funds for type one diabetes research.

 
What will this year’s program look like?

The 30-minute virtual program, hosted by Joe D’Ambrosio, will include mission highlights, sponsor and supporter recognition, an amazing auction and entertainment. “Guests” will have an opportunity to support JDRF’s mission by contributing through the auction and our signature Fund A Cure Program.

View the program from your home with family or expand your viewing party by hosting a small group at your house. Whether you’re watching from home or from a friend’s, we can help provide the Margaritaville party décor!
