Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala Raises 2 Million
in Fundraising
To all of you who joined the Breakthrough T1D Georgia Chapter and Hope Gala Chairs, Cathy Wood, Bruce Bode & Carolina and Tom Branch, on May 6th, THANK YOU! It was a spectacular evening in so many ways. The generosity shown by you, our gala guests, was truly inspirational and in turn the fundraising was remarkable! Saturday proved to be a record-breaking night for the Breakthrough T1D Georgia Chapter. After analyzing all pre-event contributions (including sponsorships, donations, table and ticket sales) combined with the evening auction and Fund A Cure donation totals, we are proud to announce we raised over $2 million for Breakthrough T1D’s mission and T1D research.
We are thrilled to share this exciting news with the very supporters who made this great achievement possible. So many of you were extraordinarily generous in your giving…thank you! If you happen to miss some of the gala program that evening, please see below for just a few of the many highlights. Enjoy!
Thank you again for your support. Together, we WILL turn type ONE into type NONE.
