We utilize mobile silent auction bidding so please ensure the JDRF office has your cell phone number. You will receive a text message when the auction opens, and you may begin bidding at that time. If you are unable to attend in person, but would like to participate in the silent auction, please visit the Mobile Bidding tab at the top of this page and register your cell phone number.
*JDRF will not use your phone number for anything other than allowing access to our mobile bidding site.*
Live Auction Pick- ONLY 100 TICKETS SOLD!
Purchase a chance to win one of our incredible Live Auction Packages!
Each ticket is $100. Tickets are available for purchase at the Gala. There is no limit to the number of Live Auction Picks that you can purchase and for each ticket you buy, your name is added to the drawing that will take place just prior to the Live Auction at the Gala. If your name is drawn, you get to choose a Live Auction Package (excludes Youth Ambassador art project)! Remember that each ticket offers a 1 in 100 chance to win a package worth thousands of dollars!
Fund A Cure is a unique opportunity to donate directly to the mission of JDRF. At the end of the Live Auction, the Auctioneer will call out various funding levels. When you hear the level at which you wish to contribute, simply raise your bid card high until you hear your bid number called. Your full donation will go directly to the world-class research that JDRF is funding and is 100% tax deductible.
You have the opportunity to help deliver the cure by supporting the Hope Gala and JDRF’s research efforts; there is no time to waste.
With your support, history will record diabetes as the first non-infectious chronic disease to be eradicated.
Your support will help JDRF change the world.
