On behalf of all those living with type one diabetes (T1D) in St. Louis, we would like to personally invite you to participate in the JDRF Annual Dream Gala, celebrating 40 years of progress. KPMG has partnered with JDRF for many years to support this very worthy cause and we are honored to receive the Philanthropic Leadership Award during this year’s gala. This annual event attracts more than 500 guests, and is an exciting and inspirational evening of dinner, dancing and phenomenal auctions, all in support of diabetes research.
We invite you to join us in supporting the JDRF Dream Gala on Saturday, May 7, 2016. If you cannot attend, please consider making a donation in the name of diabetes research.
Diabetes affects nearly 26 million people in the U.S. and 371 million people worldwide. As many as 3 million Americans have T1D – 85% are adults. JDRF’s mission is to find a cure for this deadly disease by raising funds for research. The organization was founded by committed parents four decades ago and, since then, has provided more than $1.9 billion for research.
Last year in St. Louis, the JDRF Dream Gala raised more than $1.1 million to fund this important research; however, much research is still needed to make the cure a reality. Together we will conquer this disease.
Thank you, in advance, for your generosity and support..
