One Inspired Evening

You’re invited to join us for a magical event, One Inspired Evening, a gala!   November 4, 2023

One Inspired Evening brings caring people together as we gather to celebrate, and honor our kids of all ages battling Type 1, and raise the money needed to continue providing Brave Boxes, keeping dreams alive for our kids who must battle, every day for the rest of their life. 

One Inspired Evening kicks off with a cocktail reception, appetizers and a music duo.  Much fun is had by all at the incredible silent auction, followed by a delicious dinner, inspiring speakers and capping off the evening is music and dancing.  Most of all, people leave with lasting memories and an incredible feeling that they just made a huge difference directly in the lives of some incredibly special children!  The event gives you a really good understanding of what it’s like to live with Type 1, and why we do what we do.   

Get your reservation in early.  We expect to fill the beautiful ballroom to capacity, as every year we sell out.
