JDRF Dream Gala

Every time I hear that another child was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, my heart sinks. It’s life changing and a rough road for all involved.

And that is why I am even more thankful for the upcoming JDRF Dream Gala, “Imagine a World Without Diabetes” on Saturday March 12 at 5:30 p.m., at St. Regis Monarch Beach.

It’s well known in Orange County as a premier black tie gala, a chance to wear your fanciest clothes, enjoy a wonderful dinner and evening at the beautiful St. Regis. But for those of us connected to diabetes it’s a night where the community comes together with one mission: to raise much needed funds for those living daily with a complicated disease that’s very demanding, to improve lives of others, and to prevent future diagnosis.

There will be a spectacular silent auction where you can bid on incredible designer items, trips and more; wine connoisseurs can find premier labels at its wine auction; bid on once on a lifetime experiences at the live auction, and participate JDRF's signature Fund A Cure.

New this year, guests can stay after the gala, at “Club Imagine” and enjoy a chic lounge atmosphere with hosted cocktails, where you can relax, mingle, or dance the night away.

And imagine, after the evening when you’re driving home, or better yet staying at the Resort, you will have contributed to reaching a cure faster.

Tickets cost $500. Order your Gala tickets, view the auction items, here.
