The Breakthrough T1D Dream Gala is a wonderful evening that attracts close to 600 prominent guests and features spectacular entertainment along with a signature live and silent auction. Our silent and live auctions are a key part of the evening's success, and we'd be incredibly grateful if you considered donating an item this year!

Please consider donating an item to the St. Louis or Kansas City Galas (taking place March 28th and May 2nd). Ideas might include a gift certificate, a one-of-a-kind experience, a special item from your store, or a year’s worth of lunches or services…all are ways of driving traffic to your establishment on a regular basis. Interested in donating an item to the auction? Please email Ale Vargas at avargas@BT1D.org! 💙

What defines who you are? Your style, your passions, your dreams. Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is not on that list. Not long ago, T1D was fatal. Today, because of Breakthrough T1D, life for those diagnosed, while still life-altering, is not all that you are. We hope you will join us for the 2026 Breakthrough T1D Dream Gala to celebrate the books yet to be read, the journeys yet to be taken, and the stories yet to be told.

Join us at DreamGalaSTL.org and DreamGalaKC.org to learn more about tickets, sponsorship opportunities, and how you can get involved.

Missing our incredible volunteers a little extra this time of year...

As we near the end of the year, we're extra grateful for all of our incredible volunteers, whether you tabled at a health fair, got dressed up with us for Gala, braved the chill of Walk, ran a support group, acted as an outreach ambassador to newly diagnosed families, or joined an event planning committee! Our volunteers are the reason we do what we do, and we can't wait for another year of fun events!❄️
