The Corporate Committee is pleased to invite you to join our sponsors of this very popular and successful event.

We’re Getting Results - in Numbers and Beyond
Overall, the Mid-Ohio Chapter of JDRF raised over $1 million last year, and has committed to a five year goal of $7 million in support of JDRF’s international goal of $1 billion over 5 years. As a part of our goal, we need to raise over $400,000 through this year’s Promise Ball.
The JDRF Diabetes Research portfolio of funded science is among the largest in the world focused on cures and treatments for diabetes and its complications. Exceeding $137 million last year and representing over 700 projects, JDRF science revolves around a set of targeted areas of research. JDRF calls these areas cure therapeutics, because they are targeted at moving scientific discoveries in each discipline into products, drugs, and treatments for people with diabetes.
In a typical year, more than 85% of JDRF’s expenditures directly support research and research-related education. JDRF is the world’s leading nonprofit, nongovernmental funder of diabetes research.
