Austin Chapter of Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation’s Annual OneParty Fundraiser & Gala to Take Place May 3rd

This year’s JDRF Austin (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation) annual OneParty fundraiser for Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) is on Friday, May 3rd, 2019. T1D is a chronic, autoimmune disease in which your pancreas produces little or no insulin. It is a life threatening disease and affects over 1.25 million Americans, many of which are kids which makes it even more heart wrenching. Type 1 Diabetes, however, does affects all ages ranging from 3.5 years old to 35 years old.

Since every food you eat affects your glucose levels, diabetics check their blood glucose levels up to 10x a day, and have to give themselves insulin shots up to 6x a day, depending on their levels. That is almost 2200 shots a year because there is no cure. If your levels go too high or too low, it can be fatal.

The OneParty fundraising event is being held at the Austin American Statesman and is the first fundraiser to be put on there. The event planners will give sneak peaks at the event and discuss the importance of the fundraising and what the money is needed for. For this year’s fundraiser JDRF Austin is hoping to raise $1.5 million dollars at their OneParty gala on May 3, 2019 at the Austin American Statesman. All funds raised go directly toward research to cure type 1 diabetes.

Events for the annual fundraiser for the research T1D start at 8:30am on May 3rd and include:

  • Ginormous Golf Day
