BECOME A HUMMINGBIRD GALA SPONSOR
Unlock Exclusive Sponsor Benefits
Our Hummingbird Gala is a labour of love and we couldn't make it happen without the generous support of our sponsors. There are many different levels of sponsorship available, each with their own perks.
WHY BLUE?
A Blue circle is the universal symbol for diabetes and its adoption as the symbol for diabetes awareness and advocacy can be traced back to the efforts of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF).
The blue circle was introduced in 2007 as part of the World Diabetes Day campaign. The choice of the blue color for the circle was not arbitrary; it was inspired by the blue border of the flag of the United Nations, symbolizing the global unity and solidarity in the fight against diabetes.
The blue circle represents the unity of the diabetes community worldwide, and it serves as a symbol to raise awareness about the disease and advocate for better care, prevention, and research.
WHY A HUMMINGBIRD?
Known as the "bird of hope," hummingbirds have long been a symbol for people living with diabetes and the hope they have for a cure.
However, hummingbirds also have another connection to those suffering diabetes they do not produce insulin!
These tiny birds are a powerful motif for the diabetic community and for those working diligently for a cure.
