Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala Set to Illuminate Iowa Events Center

Mark your calendars for an unforgettable evening as the Breakthrough T1D Hope Gala returns to the Iowa Events Center on October 18, 2025.

This annual event brings together the community to support groundbreaking research and advocacy for type 1 diabetes (T1D).

The gala promises a night of sophistication and heartfelt commitment to finding a cure for T1D.

Attendees will enjoy a complimentary cocktail reception, a classic dining experience, and captivating entertainment.

The evening will also feature both live and silent auctions, offering unique items and experiences to bid on.

All proceeds will directly fund critical T1D research and support services.

For those interested in contributing more personally, the gala offers the opportunity to create an Honor Basket.

These themed auction packages are crafted in honor of loved ones living with T1D, showcasing their favorite hobbies or interests.

Each basket serves as a poignant reminder of the individuals affected by T1D and helps raise additional funds for research.

To participate, complete the Honor Basket Commitment Form and submit your basket by September 22, 2025.
