2020 Gala — February 29, 2020
Dear friends,
It is our hope that during this uncertain time you and your families are safe and healthy. Our prayers go out to all of you - especially to our T1D warriors who are at risk of Covid-19.
To offer some good news and hope, the 2020 Gala was a huge success! BT1DF donated $26,000.00 to T1D cure-based research! Joslin received $8,000. Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh Foundation received $18,000. Thank you to everyone who donated, participated and supported this important cause.
If there is anything I can do to help any of you, please let me know.
Best,
Susan Pohl
co-founder BT1DF
To our Gala sponsors, benefactors, attendees, presenters, and volunteers ...
