2019 DIA-BEAT-IT Gala
JDRF is pleased to announce that the 15th annual DIA-BEAT-IT Gala in support of type 1 diabetes (T1D) research will be held on Tuesday, November 12, at The Windsor Ballrooms.
Dressed in their finest attire, over 350 guests are expected at the event. Funds raised during the evening will help support the most innovative research to better treat, prevent and eventually cure T1D.
T1D affects over 300,000 Canadians, a number that is steadily increasing. T1D is not the result of eating too much sugar, nor is it linked to being overweight or to a lack of exercise. T1D is not preventable and its cause is unknown.
For more information about JDRF or the DIA-BEAT-IT Gala, please visit: www.diabeatit.ca
2019 GALA SPONSORS
JDRF would like to express its sincere gratitude to all of our corporate partners, whose support benefits children and adults with T1D across Canada through research that is leading to groundbreaking new treatments and a cure.
PLATINUM SPONSOR
DINNER WINES SPONSORED BY
The SAQ is proud to support organizations active in the healthcare field.
Our most sincere thanks to Mr. Dan Bensoussan, President of the Windsor Ballrooms and the Polachek Family, for their generous sponsorship and support of the 2019 DIA-BEAT-IT Gala.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Bag of Hope
The Bag of Hope, sponsored by Roche Diagnostics (Accu-Chek), is a knapsack providing information to help newly diagnosed families cope with the challenges of living with diabetes. The complimentary bag includes the popular Rufus bear, and a selection of informative brochures. Request a Bag of Hope from us with Rosalie Sarasua rsarasua@jdrf.ca or at your local diabetes clinic.
Books for Families with Children and Teens Living with Type 1 Diabetes
At most diabetes clinics, you can pick up a free copy of two books made available by JDRF, which aim to inform and educate families about T1D. When a Child has Diabetes is written by Denis Daneman, Marcia Frank, and Kusiel Perlman. Le diabète chez l'enfant et l’adolescent is written by Louis Geoffroy and Monique Gonthier, a pediatrician at CHU Sainte-Justine.

If you’re planning on hosting an event in support of JDRF, we have a new user-friendly online system ready for you! “Fundraise Your Way” is a hassle-free way to collect donations, have participants join a team or purchase tickets to an event. Plan your event in support of JDRF today. If you’re interested in learning more, please visit “Fundraise Your Way” or contact Stefanie Rosenblatt-Bergman srosenblatt@jdrf.ca.
VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Whether it's the Walk to Cure Diabetes, the Ride for Diabetes Research, or any other JDRF event that takes place during the year, they all require a considerable amount of volunteer help.
This help can be pre-event, working on one of many committees involving recruitment of participants, solicitation of sponsorships for items and services, or day-of event duties such as registration, route supervision, kids activities, barbecue/refreshment area, etc.
Volunteers are the backbone of JDRF and their support is truly appreciated!
