Story
Our annual Sugar Soirée brings CHI supporters together to celebrate the strength of the community and to raise funds to improve the lives of children and adults born with congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) and their families around the world.
CHI is a global lifeline to those born with (HI). We strongly believe in a bright future for babies, children, and adults, where HI is promptly diagnosed and those with HI do not suffer preventable brain damage or death. We are equally focused on new treatments and a cure, so people with HI can lead full and long lives not ruled by blood sugar level, where they can eat normally and participate in all the activities they choose.
A "future without lows" will happen when everyone born with HI has access to medication, surgery, blood sugar testing supplies, or a cure. Our vision is to end brain damage and death from the condition and for HI families to live without fear of hypoglycemia.
Funds raised during the Sugar Soirée will support the work of CHI to:
Raise vital awareness of HI to end preventable brain damage and death from low blood sugar;
Fund CHI research for better diagnostics, treatment, and a cure; and
Help patients access genetics, specialized treatment, medications, supplies, and support those living with the disease and their families every step of the way.
