On behalf of JDRF and the 2008 Chance of a Lifetime Gala Committee Members, we want to thank you for your interest in volunteering at our event.
 
Due to overwhelming response, effective October 24th, we will not be accepting any additional volunteers for this year’s Gala. However, we encourage you to attend as a guest so that you can still be a part of helping us achieve our goal of raising more than $3 million for diabetes research.
 
Please continue to visit our website at www.jdrfillinois.org to learn more information about future volunteering opportunities as well as information on diabetes research, the Illinois Chapter’s calendar of events, and information on becoming an Illinois advocate.
 
Again, thank you for your volunteer interest. We appreciate your support of JDRF and our cause.
