For 50 years, JDRF has funded nearly every major scientific breakthrough in type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. As the global leader in T1D research, JDRF is supporting research excellence that has dramatically advanced the treatment and management of this disease and is paving the way towards remarkable progress.
None of this would have been achieved without the support of our generous donors, who endorse JDRF’s commitment to funding research that will improve the health and quality of life of over 1.6 million Americans are living with T1D, including about 200,000 youth (less than 20 years old) and more than 1 million adults (20 years old and older).
Fund A Cure (FAC) is a unique part of the gala experience. FAC is a special JDRF opportunity to make an impact on the lives of people living with T1D—and the gift is 100% tax deductible.
