Breakthrough T1D Play has raised $5M for diabetes research


The Breakthrough T1D Play program is a medical research charity raising money for critical research into diabetes.

The program is backed by a powerful network of game industry vets who either have T1D themselves or have a close personal connection, from companies including Microsoft, PlayStation, EA, and Disney. With their support, Breakthrough T1D Play raises money and awareness through Humble Bundles, Steam sales, charity streams, and in-game integrations. One great aspect of Breakthrough T1D Play is that games-adjacent people are constantly coming out of the woodwork to tell us about their T1D connections, which helps us grow our network within the game industry and build our community among gamers and streamers.
