About DRI Foundation

The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation was established in 1971 by a small group of parents of children with diabetes who were committed to finding a cure for this devastating disease.

Driven by hope and fueled by the need to end their children’s suffering, the banded together to support a promising research program at the University of Miami solely aimed at curing those living with diabetes.

Through the efforts of this initial group of supporters, many of whom are still active in the organization today, the Foundation has evolved into an international coalition of business leaders, celebrities, research scientists, clinicians, families and other concerned individuals who have helped change both the scope and direction of diabetes research.

The Diabetes Research Institute has become the world leader it is today through the dedication and perseverance of the people involved with the Foundation – those who have a personal stake in the eradication of this disease.

Supported by private philanthropy, the DRI Foundation has been and continues to be the organization of choice for those who are serious, passionate and committed to finding a cure for their loved ones and millions of others with diabetes.
