Since its inception , Sherry and Kevin Ahern have been generous supporters as Blue Circle Leaders of DRC and are serving as Event Chairs for the party this year . Sherry shares with GB Magazine , “ After our son Brendan , now 32 , was diagnosed at age 10 with T1D , my husband Kevin and I got involved with funding research for the cure . David Winkler and Dr . Alberto Hayek , local leaders working on the cure , started DRC . After many years of funding the most innovative T1D research , we decided a fun party would get the word out about the critical work DRC is doing . The party helped raise awareness and money to fund researchers . It is the most fun party in town with the best music , silent dancing and a spectacular view . Please come and share in the fun ! We need your support !”
