THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION’S
2015 RED BALL GALA
The 12th Annual Red Ball Gala “Paint the Town Red” will be a
fabulous event in Springfield on March 28th 2015 with over 600
attendees! The event will be held at the University Plaza Hotel
Convention Center and will be comprised of the following: a Private

Sit-down dinner, Casino Tables and first-rate
Funky band “Dr. Zhivegas” from St Louis.
Our corporate partners and sponsors come from diverse industries, but they share our
vision of making an everyday difference in the lives of people affected by diabetes, type
1 and type 2. While the statistics of diabetes continue to grow, they don't tell the whole
story. The emotional impact of diabetes on families, children, employees and
consumers is why companies are responding to this important health issue. Corporate
support helps us increase funding for diabetes research, education, community programs
and advocacy. Collaboration with ADA is a unique opportunity to not only build
goodwill for your company, but to build your business as well.
Working with corporations, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has
made a tremendous impact in the areas of research, information, and advocacy for all
affected by diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Together, we have made great strides in
finding those who are undiagnosed. We have raised funds for research to find a cure. We
have provided information and services to people with diabetes, their families and the
health care professionals who treat them. We have advocated our case at
the federal, state, and local levels to affect legislation and policies that
benefit people with diabetes.
THE AMERICAN DIABETES ASSOCIATION’S RED BALL GALA-MARCH 28TH, 2015
Please join us on March 28th, 2015 for the Red Ball Gala to STOP diabetes. This event
