JDRF 2020 Promise Ball

The annual Promise Ball is an annual black-tie event benefiting the JDRF Houston Gulf Coast Chapter. More than 1,000 prominent philanthropic community leaders join JDRF for a seated dinner featuring delicious cuisine, silent and live auctions featuring one-of-a-kind items, exciting live entertainment, a night of dancing, and late night casino games with great prizes. The 2019 Promise Ball raised almost $1.9 million for JDRF-funded research aimed at treating, preventing and curing type 1 diabetes in children and adults.
