Founded in 1970 by families whose loved ones had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D), Breakthrough T1D, formerly JDRF, is a tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, opening doors that were once closed by T1D diagnosis. We lead the way to more effective solutions by connecting the brightest minds to advance treatments, influence policy, and improve access to care.​ By driving innovation forward, Breakthrough T1D will make type 1 diabetes a condition of the past.

The Breakthrough T1D Gala is one of the premiere social and charitable events in Oklahoma City with a reputation of elegance, excellence and fun! This year’s gala will help make the dream of turning type one into type none a reality. Join us for a joy and hope filled evening where together, we will raise crucial funds to eradicate T1D!

Enjoy inspirational stories, entertainment, dinner and cocktails, all in support of the type 1 diabetes (T1D) community.
