Whether your mid-winter wish is to find and date an interesting and eligible bachelor, support a good cause, or simply have a night of lighthearted fun with friends, Date for Diabetes, an annual fundraising event that has been held in Anchorage for twenty-seven years, is sure to amuse most everybody.

"Other ADA markets had a similar event, and we took this auction and gave it an Alaska flair," says Cyrese Gorrin, manager of fundraising and special events for the American Diabetes Association in Alaska, where all the funds raised will go.

"Funds raised in Alaska stay in Alaska and allow the ADA and volunteers to provide programs," Gorrin says. As a result of this event, "Sixty children with diabetes attend summer camp each summer--ability to pay is not an issue."

The bachelor auction will be held at the Dena'ina Civic and Convention Center in Anchorage on January 24.
