Hope for type 1 diabetes

James and Elizabeth Elder and Chairs Alexandra and Rich Bruskoff joined supporters to kick off the 2026 Promise Ball benefiting Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF). Guests gathered at Park House to launch this year’s event benefiting type 1 diabetes research, A Night in Black & White. Breakthrough T1D Southern Texas Territory Director Rick Byrd and Board President Jordan Amis greeted supporters and shared updates and a preview of the upcoming gala. This year’s celebration will honor the Judy and Bob Morgan family and the Amy and Tim Haskell family and will also recognize Linda Brown with the Meredith and Fielding Cocke Visionary Award. Elizabeth and James Elder will be highlighted as the evening’s Fund A Cure family. This year’s Promise Ball will be held on Apr. 11 at the Hilton Americas-Houston.
