Carla Gomes, the mother of a child
with diabetes and owner of both Antico Forno and
Terramia, founded the event
to help raise awareness of the disease and support Joslin Diabetes Center’s
mission of conquering diabetes in all of its forms.
WHY:
An astounding 20.8 million people in the United States have
diabetes. This is an epidemic that crosses all ages, economic levels and
races, affecting many adults and children. As the cost and incidence of
diabetes continue to increase, Joslin Diabetes Center is the one hope for a
world without this disease. Joslin, the world’s largest diabetes research
center, diabetes clinic and provider of diabetes education, will continue to
meet the ever-changing challenges of diabetes until it realizes its mission
of a world without diabetes. All proceeds from the
Gala benefit Joslin’s High Hopes Fund, which supports the Center’s
multi-dimensional efforts in the fight against diabetes. Visit
