About
Breakthrough T1D Triangle Hope Gala
The Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala is recognized as one of Raleigh’s premier social and philanthropic events. This year we will be celebrating at the Angus Barn Pavilion on Saturday, May 11, 2024.
More than 400 guests are expected to attend this year’s annual gala. The event will include a cocktail reception, multi-course dinner, silent and live auctions, and unique entertainment. The evening concludes with Breakthrough T1D’s signature Fund A Cure program, where 100% of tax-deductible contributions drive research for Breakthrough T1D’s critical research priorities.
The auction will offer an exciting lineup of items, including international travel, fine wine and spirits, and one-of-a-kind packages. With the help of Breakthrough T1D friends and supporters, the Hope Gala aims to raise $1.45 million for critically needed type 1 diabetes research.
Become a part of this inspirational event and help us turn hope into a reality by turning Type One into Type None.

Auction Rules
Bidding on the Silent Auction items will be through the Greater Giving Mobile Bidding Platform. Any Live Auction bidding will occur live at the Gala. All bids are final and non-retractable. There will be no exchange or refund on items unless otherwise specified. We accept cash, check, Discover, Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. DAF payments are not allowed for auction items.
Please carefully check envelopes containing gift certificates before leaving. Breakthrough T1D is not responsible for replacing gift certificates lost after you leave the event. Breakthrough T1D is under no obligation to extend, modify or change items or restrictions on items/certificates. Please pay careful attention to all condition, restrictions, and expirations on items and services. Unless otherwise stated, gift certificates exclude alcohol, tax and gratuity. Unless otherwise noted, all auction items and services must be used within one year of the 2024 Wilmington Cocktails for a Cure. We appreciate your strict observance of these restrictions, as future donations depend upon it.
Breakthrough T1D cannot ship alcohol. You must be 21+ to purchase any package with alcohol items include.
Dates for all trips and similar events must be mutually arranged with donor, unless noted. All reservations should be made at least one month in advance. All tickets in travel packages are for coach travel, unless otherwise specified. No refunds are permitted for canceled, lost, or unused tickets and/or accommodations. Airline blackout dates apply to all tickets, regardless of airline, unless specifically noted. Blackout dates are subject to change. Tickets cannot be reissued or refunded.
All completed sales from this event are considered transactions solely between the purchaser and the donor of the auction item. All gift card usage is the responsibility of the buyer. Although the gift card and amount is currently valid, Breakthrough T1D is not responsible for unused gift cards at businesses that may cease to operate before the expiration date. Auction items may not be transferred from the original buyer to another auction outside of Breakthrough T1D without prior written consent from the donor.
Breakthrough T1D has endeavored to catalogue and describe the auction items correctly on-line, in the ballroom, and the electronic bidding devices, but all items are sold “as-is”. No statements contained in the program or made orally at the sale or elsewhere shall be deemed a warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Bidders should carefully note the specific restrictions, conditions, and expiration dates for items purchased. Items depicted in the slide presentation, auction display and on electronic devices are for illustration purposes and may not be actual auction items.
Breakthrough T1D reserves the right to withdraw any item from sale.
