Welcome to Dreams in the City
A Virtual Gala

DREAMS in the City is the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation’s signature spring gala, joining over 400 individuals from New York City’s business, social and celebrity circles to raise awareness and much needed funds for the Diabetes Research Institute.

This annual event has raised over $8 million dollars to support the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation’s mission: to provide the Diabetes Research Institute, the world’s leader in type 1 diabetes research, with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now.

We promise to uphold our tradition of delivering an engaging, informative, and uplifting program that showcases the work of the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI).

Your support—through both your engagement and your philanthropic generosity—is important, meaningful, and deeply appreciated.

Diabetes doesn’t take a break, and neither can we.

About the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation (DRIF) & Diabetes Research Institute (DRI)

The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation is the organization of choice for those who are serious, passionate and committed to curing diabetes. Its mission – to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now – is a testament to the belief that tomorrow is not soon enough to cure those living with diabetes.

The Diabetes Research Institute leads the world in cure-focused diabetes research. As one of the largest and most comprehensive research centers dedicated to curing diabetes, the DRI is aggressively working to develop a biological cure for diabetes by restoring natural insulin production and normalizing blood sugar levels without imposing other risks. The DRI continues to develop its BioHub strategy, a multidisciplinary, three-pronged approach for addressing the major challenges that stand in the way of a cure: eliminate the need for anti-rejection drugs, reset the immune system to block autoimmunity, and develop an unlimited supply of insulin-producing cells.
