OCTOBER 10, 2025 | San Diego, California
This year TCOYD is turning 30, and we’re marking the occasion with an all-out party at the TCOYD studio to celebrate the journey, the impact, and the incredible community that made it all possible. From the spark of an idea in Dr. Edelman’s shower to a nationwide movement, TCOYD has transformed the lives of people with diabetes through education, motivation, and heartfelt support. This milestone isn’t just a celebration—it’s a tribute to the stories, friendships, and evolution that have shaped our mission. Join us for our 30th Birthday Fund-Rager at the place where the magic happens, featuring tacos, live music by TCOYD’s own, and the beloved faculty who’ve been part of the ride. Let’s honor the past and rally support for the next 30 years of changing lives together.
Join us for a high-energy celebration packed with food, music, dancing, and purpose — all in support of TCOYD’s mission to educate and motivate people living with diabetes to live healthier, happier lives.
