That was One Party! 💙🎉 Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 2024 YLC One Party last Thursday evening! Because of you, we raised more than $76,850...and still counting! A special thank you to the Young Leadership Committee and YLC President, Grace Krapf, for helping make the evening possible.

Since our founding more than 50 years ago, we—and the world—have evolved. So, too, have the science and understanding of type 1 diabetes (T1D). While our mission remains the same, we want to better express who we are today and the incredible breakthroughs we are advancing for everyone in the T1D community. We are the same organization—just with a new name and look. We are Breakthrough T1D. Always, we are guided by a single purpose: As we drive toward curing type 1 diabetes, we help make everyday life better for the people who face it. Please take a moment to watch the video below and visit our new website. Let’s break through T1D together! 💙

The Kelley family is always going the extra mile for JDRF! From crossing the finish line at the Chicago Marathon to conquering several JDRF Rides, they've been unwavering supporters of JDRF's mission to end T1D. Their story is one of resilience and determination, fueled by the love for their son Edgar, who was diagnosed with T1D three years ago.
