Event raises more than $700K for type 1 diabetes research
The JDRF Southern California chapter hosted its One Night Gala at Pendry San Diego last month. The event attracted 160 guests and raised more than $700,000 in support of JDRF Southern California. The night began with cocktails, silent and wine auctions, and raffles that featured a Roberto Coin diamond necklace. Dinner included a filet and salmon duet entrée, as well as a chocolate mousse and roasted almond sponge with brown butter sable and caramelized nuts as desserts.
One Night Gala sponsors included Dexcom, Sycuan Band of the Kumeyaay Nation and DLA Piper. According to JDRF, the organization is the world’s largest private funder of type 1 diabetes research and has contributed more than $2.5 billion to the research since its inception in 1970.
