Del Mar Dance for Diabetes

Diabetes Research Connection held its inaugural Del Mar Dance for Diabetes benefit Sept. 29, at the Del Mar Plaza. The event featured live music provided by Susan Foster and Encore Event Entertainment, great food, a silent auction and more. The Del Mar-based nonprofit’s mission is to “connect donors with early-career scientists enabling them to perform peer-reviewed, novel research designed to prevent and cure type 1 diabetes, minimize its complications and improve the quality of life for those living with the disease,” according to the organization’s website at diabetesresearchconnection.org.
