An unforgettable evening for an incredible cause. 🎭

We were honored to support Breakthrough T1D at their 2026 Detroit Promise Ball—a masquerade celebrating the “Faces of T1D” and raising funds for life-changing research.

Our team was proud to help prepare the event programs, ensuring everything was ready for this special evening.
