Thrive Out Loud: Chicago

You’re invited to a free, family-friendly evening hosted by Beyond Type 1 at Chicago’s iconic Field Museum — focused on early diabetes detection, health equity, and community connection on Juneteenth.

This is more than a health event. It’s a celebration of culture, care, and community.

Juneteenth is a moment to reflect, reconnect and recommit to building a more just and inclusive future, especially in health. This event brings trusted resources directly to families. Because when it comes to diabetes, early detection saves lives — and expanding access to those tools is one way we close the gaps in care.

Join us for:

✅ Free type 1 diabetes early detection testing for those not living with diabetes
✅ Free food, family-friendly entertainment, and access to museum exhibits
✅ A powerful community conversation about diabetes
✅ Special meet-and-greet with celebrity guests
✅ Free swag bags for the first 100 guests

Come for the conversation—stay for the cocktails and a chance to win tickets to one of Broadway’s hottest new shows.

🗓 Wednesday, June 19

🕡 5:30–7:00 PM

📍The Field Museum, 1400 S. DuSable Lake Shore Drive, Chicago, IL 60605

Black Americans face the highest rates of delayed diabetes diagnoses — and the greatest barriers to care. This Juneteenth, we’re turning awareness into action by expanding access to early detection tools and celebrating community resilience.
