Breakthrough T1D Dallas "One Step Closer" Luncheon

About this event

Breakthrough T1D Dallas Chapter announces the 2026 Breakthrough T1D Dallas Luncheon , “One Step Closer,” on Thursday, Nov. 19, at 11:30 a.m. at Brook Hollow Golf Club (8301 Harry Hines Blvd, Dallas, TX 75235). Emceed by Karen Borta , CBS news anchor and T1D mom, the luncheon will feature “A Candid Conversation” with Meredith Coors and her son, Peter Coors II , who was diagnosed with T1D at age 11. The conversation will offer a personal look at living with T1D, the advances that have transformed care and the continued need for research toward better treatments and cures.

Meredith Coors became involved with Breakthrough T1D after Peter’s diagnosis in 2014. Now a University of Notre Dame graduate, Peter recently moved to the Dallas area and works for Andrews Distributing. Since his diagnosis, Meredith and her husband, Peter, have been dedicated to raising funds for T1D research and a cure. Meredith joined the Mountain West Breakthrough T1D Board in 2017 and chaired the organization’s 2018 Colorado Gala. She joined Breakthrough T1D’s Global Mission Board in 2022 and is a member of the Stewardship Ambassador Initiative and Clinical Trial Education Volunteer Committee.

Luncheon Co-Chairs Lisa Singleton and Terry Van Willson , along with Honorary Chairs Tricia and Kenn George , invite the community to join them for this inspiring conversation and to learn more about the progress being made in T1D research and care, as well as the realities of living with the disease.
