Win an Icon. Drive a Breakthrough.
When you donate, you're not just entering for a chance to win a race-ready Ford—you’re fueling real progress in the fight against type 1 diabetes. Your donation helps Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF) in its mission to improve lives today and tomorrow by accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent and treat type one diabetes and its complications.
One iconic car. One powerful cause.
Ford and Breakthrough T1D have partnered for over 25 years, raising over 85 million dollars for type 1 diabetes! Since 1998, Ford Motor Company has supported Breakthrough T1D in its goal of turning type one into type none. No other company has had a greater impact on funding Breakthrough T1D research than Ford, a prestigious honor the company holds in high esteem.
Founded in 1970 by families whose loved ones had been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes (T1D), Breakthrough T1D is a tax-exempt nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.
We are opening doors that were once closed by T1D diagnosis. We lead the way to more effective solutions by connecting the brightest minds to advance treatments, influence policy, and improve access to care. By driving innovation forward, Breakthrough T1D will make type 1 diabetes a condition of the past.
Mission: Accelerating life-changing breakthroughs to cure, prevent, and treat type 1 diabetes and its complications.
Purpose: As we drive toward curing type 1 diabetes, we help make everyday life better for the people who face it.
