Corporate Partners
Breakthrough T1D™ Walk corporate teams and partners are making significant strides in funding T1D research.
Their dedication deserves our deepest thanks.
Our corporate partners are instrumental in our drive to turn type 1 diabetes (T1D) into a thing of the past. Their commitment enriches our culture, driving significant fundraising efforts and fostering community engagement.
Thanks to these partnerships, we're not just envisioning a world free from the burden of T1D; we're actively creating it–a future without the daily challenges of diabetes management. Our corporate allies inspire their networks to join the cause, leading Breakthrough T1D Walk teams, volunteering, and rallying support from every corner of their community.
We're grateful for every partner's dedication to our shared vision of a cure and a better quality of life for those with T1D.

Ford Motor Company has supported Breakthrough T1D since 1983. In 1998, Ford expanded this relationship with the creation of the employee-driven Ford Global Action Team for Breakthrough T1D (FGAT), combining the passion and power of Ford employees, families, and friends, as well as key business partners from the UAW, WPP, BP, and Ford and Lincoln dealerships. With tens of thousands of volunteers working together to fundraise, the FGAT has averaged more than $3.5 million annually for the past 20 years. Under the leadership of Edsel B. Ford II, and more than 90 fundraising teams across 40 global sites, Ford has raised over $70 million to fund Breakthrough T1D research.

Lilly—a global leader in diabetes care—has been a longstanding Breakthrough T1D corporate partner for more than 20 years, supporting key Breakthrough T1D mission—focused research, programs, and activities across the globe. Through our national partnership, Breakthrough T1D and Lilly are helping children, teens and their caregivers feel empowered to live full and active lives with type 1 diabetes (T1D). We’re doing this by providing meaningful education and support resources like the Breakthrough T1D Bag of Hope and Back to School materials and in–person education at our TypeOneNation Summits to the T1D community, and through support of the Breakthrough T1D Walk that engages Lilly employees across the country through a national walk team.
