Your Party. Your People. Your Purpose.

You already have a community of people who care about you. Maybe they know your T1D story. Maybe they’ve supported your family along the way. Or maybe they simply want to understand what life with type 1 diabetes is really like.

A Party with a Purpose is a chance to bring those people together, share your connection to The DFC, and help make sure more people impacted by T1D can find the community they need.

A Party with a Purpose is a fundraiser hosted by you—a family, group, business, or community member who believes in the difference connection can make.

You choose the people.
You choose the place.
You choose the party.

The DFC is here to help with the rest.

Your party might raise funds to support The DFC’s programs or a specific program that means something to you. Along the way, your guests get to learn more about T1D, hear why The DFC matters to your journey, and discover how they can help make sure no one navigating T1D feels alone.

It can be whatever you want it to be.

There’s no one right way to host a Party with a Purpose.

You don’t have to be a professional fundraiser.

You just have to care about the T1D community.

The DFC team will work alongside you to make your Party with a Purpose successful. We’ll help you think through the details, provide resources to share with your guests, and help tell the story of what your support makes possible.

What could your party make possible?

Your guests’ generosity can help create transformative experiences for people living with T1D and the people who love them—from residential camp and Camp to Community events to family retreats and opportunities to find connection close to home.

Because when families find their people, the weight of T1D doesn’t have to be carried alone.
