Your $5 donation goes directly to Joslin Diabetes Center, in support of diabetes research, education and care.

When someone with a previously purchased ticket enters Lord & Taylor on Benefit Bash, he or she will be asked to drop off the ticket stub(s) at any of the entrances with an organization volunteer. The ticket stub is counted as attendance.
