JDRF 26th Annual Gala: Courage Today, Cure Tomorrow

by

Honoring Mary Jane Denzer and Bonnie Trotta

The Westchester County Chapter of the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation will host its 26th Annual Gala on Saturday, May 5th at the Hyatt Regency in Greenwich.

Mary Jane Denzer

Westchester’s own Mary Jane Denzer and Bonnie Trotta will be honored for their commitment and dedication to the organization. The elegant evening will include dinner and dancing.  “I’m thrilled to be involved with such an exciting event in support of a very worthwhile cause.  I believe that one person’s efforts can make a big difference but the involvement of local businesses together, and their network of connections, can really supercharge fundraising,” says Mary Jane Denzer.

Bonnie Trotta

The JDRF Gala continues to attract Westchester County’s most prominent business leaders, and patrons.   The night will feature live entertainment, silent and live auctions, and JDRF’s Fund A Cure.

Last year JDRF raised over $550,000 for Type 1 Diabetes research thanks in part to the generous support of PepsiCo, Bayer HealthCare, Country Bank, Brown & Tarantino, MDC Partners, Entergy and our family sponsors.

JDRF is the global leader in finding cures and treatments for Type 1 Diabetes.

If you would like more information about Type 1 Diabetes, or would like an interview with Mary Jane Denzer and/or Bonnie Trotta please call Stephen Gnojewski @914-686-7700 or sgnojewski@jdrf.org.
