The goal this year is to raise $1.6 million for type 1 diabetes (T1D) research at the annual JDRF Promise Ball. The 2015 Promise Ball theme is “Generations of Hope” and the black tie event will mark its 16th anniversary this spring. Raising more than $30 million since the inaugural event in 2000, the Promise Ball remains a critically important vehicle to raise funds that support research, treatment and prevention of T1D. JDRF promises the evening will be packed full of entertainment, exquisite food and drinks and purpose.
