Joslin Diabetes Center Hosts High Hopes Gala 2013 In Celebration of National Diabetes Month

Joslin Diabetes Center’s High Hopes Gala (www.highhopesgala.com) and World
Diabetes Month celebration promotes awareness and raises funds for vital
diabetes clinical care programs and groundbreaking research initiatives at
Joslin Diabetes Center.  This
fabulous black-tie event, established in 1999, benefits Joslin Diabetes
Center’s High Hopes Fund, which supports the Center’s greatest needs in
research, education and clinical care. 
Joslin Diabetes Center is pleased to recognize Team Joslin Boston
Marathon Runners as 2013 High Hopes Gala Honorees for their outstanding passion
and commitment to Joslin’s mission



The evening will include a
lively cocktail reception, exciting silent and live auction, a chance to win a
trip for two to Super Bowl XLVIII, and live entertainment by one of the
region’s top party bands, K2, who will be performing a mix of dance favorites
from Sinatra to Black Eyed Peas.



An astounding 347 million
people worldwide have diabetes and that number is increasing in alarming,
epidemic proportions.  Joslin is
working toward a cure, and a world without diabetes and its complications.
