We are excited to announce this year’s JDRF Hope Gala Honoree and T1D mom, Emily Spitzer.
Emily’s involvement in JDRF began when her daughter Rebecca was diagnosed with T1D at 9 months old. Immediately following the diagnosis, Emily immersed herself both with the local chapter and JDRF International. She has served in numerous roles and among her many contributions to the T1D community, she was instrumental in the hiring of JDRF’s first internal scientist.
As we celebrate the progress of research over the last 50 years, join us virtually at this year’s JDRF Hope Gala on December 5, 2020 as we celebrate Emily and all that she has done for JDRF.
