Founded in 1987, the JDRF Hope Gala is JDRF’s signature event in Maryland, and has raised millions for Type 1 Diabetes research since inception. In 2017, the Hope Gala saw almost 400 of Baltimore’s leading business and community leaders, who enjoyed exciting live and silent auctions, the opportunity to directly fund research through the Fund a Cure program, dinner, drinks, and an After Party to remember!
