Hope Gala: "Road to a Cure" Raises Over $1.3 Million!

On Saturday, November 2, 2013, the JDRF Hope Gala – "Road for a Cure" transformed the National Building Museum into a Wizard of Oz Emerald City with entertainment by Songs of Broadway. The night was chaired by Susan Traver and Craig Walling and awards were presented to Hope Champion Jonathan Russell Legg and Hope Honoree Larry Soler and the Soler Family for their continued commitment to JDRF. The spectacular evening raised over $1.3 million dollars. Hundreds of our supporters were in the room to help make this happen.
