Special Events

Our Special Events help to increase awareness about juvenile diabetes in a fun, lighthearted atmosphere.  Events also generate over 75 percent of our yearly funds and provide the backbone for our annual fundraising efforts. 

WALK TO CURE DIABETES
The JDRF Walk To Cure Diabetes is the fastest growing fund raising event in the history of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Last year, over $93 million was raised through the Walk To Cure Diabetes to fund diabetes research. This year, the Walk To Cure Diabetes is expected to surpass $100 million.

PROMISE BALL
The Promise Ball is our annual gala event celebrating the achievements of our most dedicated supporters while raising funds and awareness for JDRF.

RIDE TO CURE DIABETES
The JDRF Ride To Cure Diabetes is an adventure of a lifetime. Riders from around the world take on two challenges: raising the critical money needed to fund the research that will cure diabetes, and reaching a personal training goal that will prepare them for their destination cycling experience. Participants spend the weeks before the Ride working with a USA Cycling certified coach and a JDRF fundraising coach to help them reach their goals. Be part of the team that moves us towards a cure with every mile pedaled and every dollar raised.
