About The Carousel Ball

The Carousel Ball aims to increase awareness for diabetes and raise funds for clinical care and diabetes research at the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes (BDC). This renowned facility provides clinical services for people with type 1 diabetes and supports substantial clinical research programs to prevent, and ultimately cure, this chronic life-threatening disease.


Attendees of The Carousel Ball enjoy dinner, cocktails & hors d’oeuvres, live & silent auctions, and exciting entertainment! Proceeds from The Carousel Ball go to the Children’s Diabetes Foundation (CDF) and the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes.

Since 1978, the Ball has raised a total of $117 million.
