Jake T. Austin will be joining in the fun this weekend, as he makes a special appearance and personal donation at the 9th annual Kids Party For A Cure, benefiting the cure-focused work of the Diabetes Research Institute at Dave & Busters (1504 Old Country Road, Westbury, NY 11590) on Sunday, March 25th. The event will feature activities for kids of all ages, sweepstakes, a silent auction, and a private meet and greet photo session with Jake for eligible sponsors. Austin has generously agreed to donate his time to the Kids Party and will be personally presenting a check at the event in the amount of $2,500.00 to support the DRI’s important research.
“I’m excited to be a part of the Kids Party for A Cure that benefits the Diabetes Research Institute. My grandfather has struggled with this disease, and it’s been important for me to learn more about diabetes and how to support the kids here who have it. I know that the DRI is solely focused on finding a cure and that gives me a reason to believe that a cure for diabetes will happen in our lifetime.”
-Jake T. Austin
The mission of the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation is to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now. The Diabetes Research Institute leads the world in cure-focused research. As the largest and most comprehensive research center dedicated to curing diabetes, the DRI is aggressively working to shrink the timeline toward the discovery of a biological cure for this disease. The Diabetes Research Institute was created for one reason – to cure diabetes – which is and will continue to be its singular focus until that goal is reached. For the millions of people affected by diabetes, the DRI is the best hope for a cure.
