The JDRF Desert West Chapter’s Promise Ball Gala is recognized as one of Phoenix’s premier social and philanthropic events. This year the Promise Ball Gala will be held on Saturday, November 6 at the JW Marriott Phoenix Desert Ridge Resort & Spa.  We are excited to honor Scott and Elise Whyte as our Fund a Cure Family and Chris Ronzio, CEO & Founder of Trainual as our Corporate Honoree for their unwavering passion and commitment to JDRF’s mission to accelerate life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes and its complications.

More than 400 guests are expected to attend this year’s annual gala in support of the Whyte’s, Trainual, and JDRF. The event will include a cocktail reception, a multi-course dinner, silent and live auctions, and entertainment. The live auction concludes with JDRF’s signature Fund A Cure program, where 100% of tax-deductible contributions drive research for JDRF’s critical research priorities.

The auction will offer an exciting lineup of items, including travel, fine wine and spirits, and one-of-a-kind packages. With the help of the Whyte’s, Trainual, and supporters, the JDRF Promise Ball Gala aims to raise  $1.1 million for critically needed type 1 diabetes research. Become part of this inspirational event and help us turn hope into a reality by turning type one into type none.
