The Dream Gala Benefiting The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation At Omni Dallas

One of Dallas’ most beloved charitable celebrations, The Dream Gala benefiting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, is heading to the new Omni Dallas hotel for an evening of lively entertainment and one of the best silent and live auctions of the new year.  Guests will be treated to the lush fabulousness of the new Omni Dallas while enjoying entertainment by the Fund-A-Cure keynote speaker, Bret Michaels.  He will share his story of living with diabetes and then revelers will have the opportunity to participate in the unique Fund-A-Cure portion of the evening’s festivities.  In this portion, 100% of the proceeds will go directly to fund the Complications Prevention research that focuses on ways to improve the lives of people suffering from the life-altering, and at times devasting complications that can arise from diabetes.

Chairs Minnie and William Caruth, III and the entire Procurement Guild will be honoring Stacey and Dave Johnson, two of the founding members of the Greater Dallas Chapter and active motivator - influencers in the area of research, for their contribution and drive toward improving the lives of those affected by diabetes.

The Dream Gala is a high-profile event that attracts and invites just over 1000 lucky Dallasites to share in the celebration, contribute to the cause and revel with others that are dedicated to finding a cure for diabetes and mitigating the complications that result.  You’ll want to reserve your ticket soon, as these tickets go quickly.
