The JDRF Southern California One Night Gala will bring our incredible Orange County T1D community together in support of the organization that has contributed more than 2.5 billion dollars to type 1 diabetes (T1D) research since its inception in 1970.

JDRF works every day to change the reality of this disease for millions of people—and to prevent anyone else from ever knowing it—by funding research; advocating for government support of research and new therapies; ensuring new therapies come to market and are recommended by healthcare providers; and connecting, engaging, and educating the T1D community.

Founded by parents determined to find a cure for their children with T1D, JDRF expanded through grassroots fundraising and advocacy efforts to become a powerhouse in the scientific community with dozens of U.S. locations and five international affiliates.
