About the Promise Ball 

 

  

Forty-seven years ago a group dedicated to improving the lives of those with diabetes came together for New York City’s first Promise Ball. Since then, the event has raised nearly $75 million to fund breakthroughs in research towards amazing innovations like glucose-responsive insulin and the recently FDA-approved artificial pancreas system. With your support, we continue to pioneer the efforts towards curing the disease once and for all.
