JDRF’s Western New York Chapter presents an outstanding Gala program that has raised more than $9 million since it began 20 years ago. The Journey to a Cure Gala  brings together 600 prominent community leaders to raise critical funds for type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. The black-tie Gala will feature a seated dinner, silent and live auctions, and entertainment.
