8 The Carousel of Hope 1. What Makes The Carousel of Hope So Special? --Barbara Davis, Chairman

t never ceases to amaze me how fortunate we have been with The Carousel of Hope and it is all because of the help of our friends. It is the advice and personal efforts of icons in the music world – David Foster, Clive I Davis and Quincy Jones and legends in the entertainment world – Sidney Poitier, Jay Leno and our producer George Schlatter, who time and again have made each Carousel of Hope so outstanding.

We have had the good fortune of first introducing performers like Jennifer Hudson (before she received her Academy Award), Josh Groban early in his magnificent career, Usher at the peak of his international fame and recently Charice, whose overnight 2. success is a phenomenon. This year we were also privileged to have the Jonas Brothers who filled the room with excitement and then pathos when Nick sang about his experience of living with diabetes.

The Carousel of Hope has been blessed to have the world’s top performers who have all donated their time to help children with diabetes. We all still remember the incredible performances of Bette Midler, Stevie Wonder, Beyonce, Elton John, Sting, Andrea Bocelli by satellite with Celine Dion on stage at the Hilton, Ricky Martin, Whitney Houston, Faith Hill, Rod Stewart, Neil Diamond, Barry Manilow, Babyface, Placido Domingo, The Bee Gees, B.B King, Jennifer Hudson, Michael Bolton, Usher, Charlotte Church, Katharine McPhee and Paul McCartney who flew in from London to present the award to Stevie Wonder. Many of you will recall the amazing performances at the Carousel Balls in Denver by Frank Sinatra, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Kenny Rogers led by our emcee and producer, Merv Griffin.

What makes the Carousel Ball so special? It begins with the advice 3. and efforts of David Foster, Clive Davis, Quincy Jones, Jay Leno, Sidney Poitier, and George Schlatter. Combine that with the world’s best talent in a room filled with friends united in love and hope to help children with diabetes . . . and you are left with memories of another special Carousel of Hope..

21 A message from the Chairman Dear Friends,

During this special season of hope, for the family of a loved one with diabetes, the deepest hope is that this terrible disease will be conquered. Diabetes has become an epidemic worldwide. Over 23 million Americans are afflicted and their lives are threatened by its horrendous complications of blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke and amputation of limbs. The challenge of ending this disease is enormous and it will take the support of caring people throughout the world to make it happen.

I ask you to take a moment to make a donation in any amount in support of our annual Reaching for the Brass Ring Campaign for the Cure. Your generosity will give 5,000 children at the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes a better quality of life today and renewed hope to millions more that the cure is not an impossible dream.

For over 30 years the physicians and health professionals at the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes have served with dedication and compassion to give children and adults with type 1 diabetes the most excellent quality care regardless of ability to pay – all made possible by your donations.

Your gifts also help to fund the world-class research programs at the Center such as ongoing studies to predict diabetes, to discover the environmental factors that may contribute to onset of diabetes, important stem cell studies and islet cell transplantation.

Less than a century ago, people diagnosed with diabetes were given a year to live. From the discovery of insulin in 1922 to the dramatic progress made in the past 30 years in care and research, we are reaching for the cure. On behalf of those you love who live with this burden, please remember them today by helping us grasp that brass ring and cure diabetes.

I wish you and yours a joyous holiday and a happy, healthy New Year.

Warm wishes,

Barbara Davis, Chairman Children’s Diabetes Foundation
