Summary
- Lance Bass receives Spotlight Award at T1D gala.
- Gala funds research to cure, prevent, treat T1D.
- Event features dinner, auctions, and Fund A Cure.
On October 10, the Breakthrough T1D Los Angeles Gala will be held at the Skirball Cultural Center to raise vital funds for Type 1 diabetes (T1D) research. This year's event will honor Lance Bass, the *NSYNC star and dedicated T1D advocate, with the Spotlight Award. Bass, who publicly shared his T1D diagnosis during the COVID-19 lockdown, has become a strong voice for the T1D community.
The "Cures on the Horizon Gala," hosted by Breakthrough T1D's Greater Los Angeles chapter, aims to advance research for T1D, an autoimmune disease requiring lifelong management. The evening's program includes dinner, hosted cocktails, dancing, silent and live auctions, and the signature Fund A Cure initiative, with all direct contributions supporting T1D research priorities.
