Thank you for joining us for the 30th year at the Sheraton Grand Seattle as we celebrated the holiday season with joy and creativity through Gingerbread Village, a cherished tradition benefitting Breakthrough T1D and type 1 diabetes (T1D) research.

The process begins each year months in advance. Architects submit detailed schematics before the Sheraton chefs bake the gingerbread foundation for these 6-foot-tall masterpieces. The Breakthrough T1D Elves bring their unique perspectives to the designs, with some using AI tools, and others drawing from their cultures, and incorporating elements of their families and identities. The result is a breathtaking collaboration that showcases creativity, teamwork, and the spirit of the season.
