Dear Friends: It is a great pleasure to welcome everyone as the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation hosts its 2017 Empire Ball.

Nothing is more important to our administration than protecting the health and wellness of all our residents. As the largest and most comprehensive research center devoted to finding a cure for diabetes, DRI is a terrific partner in our efforts to ensure the wellbeing of all New Yorkers. The Institute has already made great progress in achieving its mission, developing a groundbreaking cell-based therapy to combat this disease and continuing to persevere in its endeavors to produce even more cutting-edge treatments. I applaud the Foundation and its Real Estate Division for their significant contributions to the field of diabetes research and for their inspiring philosophy of teamwork and collaboration. I join together with all those gathered in celebrating this organization, whose commitment to improving health and helping those in need resonates so deeply with New Yorkers.

On behalf of our great city, congratulations to tonight’s honorees. I offer my best wishes for an enjoyable event and continued success.

Sincerely,

Bill de Blasio Mayor

A MESSAGE FROM THE DIABETES RESEARCH INSTITUTE

CAMILLO RICORDI, M.D. & JOSHUA W. REDNIK December 13, 2017 Dear Friends, Welcome to the 2017 Empire Ball. This signature event, organized and attended by New York City’s real estate and construction industries, has been going strong for 34 years. We cannot thank you enough for your continued support. To date, thanks to your generosity and dedication, we have raised more than $37 million for diabetes research!

Camillo Ricordi, M.D.

Tonight, we recognize three outstanding individuals – our honorees Paul H. Teti, Robert Mullen and Jeffrey A. Duarte – as well as our event co-chairs, committee, and sponsors, who have gone above and beyond to support the mission of the Diabetes Research Institute (DRI).

Tonight, for the first time, the Empire State Building, One Bryant Park and 4 Times Square will all be illuminated in sparking blue to celebrate the Empire Ball and its efforts to find a cure for diabetes. Together, we can help “Unlock the Cure.”

Joshua W. Rednik

As is the tradition, many amongst this group recently traveled to the DRI in Miami to get a firsthand look at how your fundraising efforts are being invested. They learned how DRI scientists have been able to advance a number of promising initiatives to the clinical phase of testing and that the DRI is gearing up for several new patient studies that will address the unique challenges posed by the immune system.

With so much important work moving forward now, your ongoing support through extraordinary events like the Empire Ball is more important than ever. We extend our deepest appreciation to all of you here tonight who have helped to make this event a tremendous success.

Sincerely, Sincerely,

Camillo Ricordi, M.D. Stacy Joy Goodman Professor of Surgery Distinguished Professor of Medicine Director, Diabetes Research Institute Chief, Division of Cellular Transplantation University of Miami Miller School of Medicine

Joshua W. Rednik President and CEO Diabetes Research Institute Foundation

SPECIAl GUEST EMCEE

MICHAEL KAY New York Yankees Play-by-Play Announcer CenterStage Host Michael Kay is the Emmy Award-winning Yankees play-by-play announcer for the YES Network who also hosts the network’s CenterStage series and its various programming specials. The 2017 season is his 26th year broadcasting Yankees baseball: the first 10 years on radio, the latter 16 on YES. The YES Network, the most-watched regional sports network in the country 12 of the last 14 years, is the exclusive local television home of the 27-time World Champion New York Yankees, the Brooklyn Nets, and MlS’ New York City FC. The network has won 101 New York Emmy Awards since its 2002 launch.

Kay won the 2015 New York Emmy Award as the best play-by-play announcer for his work on YES’ Yankees telecasts, beating out a stiff field of competitors. In total, Kay has earned nine Emmy wins and 35 Emmy nominations while at YES. He also won CableFAX Program Awards in 2011 and 2013 for his hosting duties on CenterStage. In November 2016, Kay was inducted into the New York State Baseball Hall of Fame.

In addition, The Michael Kay Show, a sports talk show heard weekdays on ESPN Radio 98.7 FM in New York which Kay co-hosts with Don leGreca, has been simulcast live weekday afternoons on YES since February 2014. The influential Radio Ink magazine, which covers the radio industry, named The Michael Kay Show the 4th-best sports show in the country.

Kay handled play-by-play duties for the ESPN Radio Network for the 2016 Blue Jays-Rangers American league Division Series, the 2013 Tigers-Athletics American league Division Series and the 2008 PhilliesBrewers National league Division Series. He has also been a frequent contributor to ESPN’s Emmy Award-winning Sports Reporters television show airing on Sunday mornings.

Prior to joining the YES Network in 2002, Kay worked at the MSG Network since 1989 as a Yankees reporter. In 1992, he added Knicks locker room reporter to his responsibilities, and continued in that role until the 1998-99 season.

Kay was awarded the Dick Young Award for Excellence in Sports Media by the New York Pro Baseball Scouts in 1995. In 1998, he was on the MSG Network team that won a New York Emmy for "Outstanding live Sports Coverage – Series." In 1996 and 1997 he was a member of the MSG Network team that won New York Emmys for "Outstanding live Sports Coverage - Single Program" for Dwight Gooden's no-hitter and "The Battle for New York: Yankees vs. Mets." He was also a part of the Yankees/MSG Network production team that was nominated for New York Emmy Awards for six consecutive years.

In addition to his television work, the Bronx, NY, native worked as Yankees analyst on WABC Radio from 1992 through the 2001 season which concluded with the classic Yankees-Diamondbacks World Series. Kay was a winner of "Best Sports Reporter" honors at the 2000 New York Metro Achievement in Radio Awards. In 1998, Kay also began co-hosting Sports Talk with John Sterling and Michael Kay, a nightly sports radio call-in show which aired on WABC Radio during the winter months.

Shortly after graduating from Fordham University in 1982 with a B.A. in Communications, Kay worked at SportsPhone and as the public address announcer for the New York Pro Summer Basketball league.

In 1982, Kay landed the job as general assignment writer for the New York Post. Two years later, he began covering college basketball (1984-85) and then spent two years as the writer covering the New Jersey Nets. In 1987, he moved to baseball at the Post, serving as the Yankees beat reporter. While he was in that position, he got his first television job with MSG Network as host of the Hot Stove League segment of MSG's SportsNight.

In 1989, Kay moved to the New York Daily News, where he was the Yankees beat reporter before taking the job as a Yankees broadcaster on WABC Radio in 1992. With that jump, Kay became the first newspaper reporter in any sport to make the move into the broadcast booth full-time, performing both play-byplay and analysis.

Kay stayed on the radio for 10 years, broadcasting the Yankees’ four World Series championships during that time, before moving to the television side to become the lead play-by-play man for YES in 2002.

Kay has been involved in the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.), a charitable organization whose mission is to provide assistance to members of the baseball community. He co-hosted the 2013 B.A.T. fundraising dinner in New York. Kay also was master of ceremonies at the 2013 Thurman Munson Awards fundraising dinner in New York.

In 2005, he was honored in his home borough of the Bronx, having an honorary street sign in his name erected on the Grand Concourse. Kay is active with the Alzheimer’s Association in memory of his mother, Rose, who passed away from the disease in 2006. He has also teamed up with Yankees manager Joe Girardi and Girardi’s Catch 25 Foundation to organize annual charity dinners to raise money for Alzheimer's research.

Kay and his wife Jodi Applegate have a daughter, Caledonia Rose Kay, born in January 2013, and a son, Charles Applegate Kay, born in November 2014.

RICK CERONE Former New York Yankees Catcher

After spending 18 seasons in the major leagues and time behind the microphone as an analyst, the Newark native saw his dreams come to fruition, as he was the driving force behind the creation of the Newark Bears and the construction of Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium.

After retiring as a player, Cerone remained active, broadcasting Major league Baseball games from 1993-98. He worked as an analyst for the Orioles and Yankees and spent time as a playoff analyst for CBS radio and The Baseball Network. He entered into professional sports ownership in October of 1992 as a General Partner with the Carolina league’s Wilmington Blue Rocks. He remained a part of the Blue Rocks’ organization until 1998 as he began focusing all of his attention on the establishment of the Bears and the formation of the Atlantic league.

Extremely active in the community, Cerone co-established the Teach Our Children Foundation along with former New York Giant Bart Oates in 1998.

FACTS ABOUT DIABETES Diabetes is increasing at an alarming rate in the United States. According to the CDC’s (Centers for Disease Control) National Diabetes Statistics Report for 2014, cases of diabetes have increased almost 13% over the last four years (29.1 million in 2012 vs. 25.8 million in 2010). Below is a summary of the latest diabetes statistics included in the CDC’s report. You can view the full report at http://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pubs/statsreport14/national-diabetes-report-web.pdf. how many People have Diabetes?

• 29.1 million people, or 9.3% of the U.S. population, have diabetes, including 8.1 million people who have diabetes but have not yet been diagnosed (All ages, 2012).

• Diabetes impacts all social, economic, and ethnic backgrounds.

• Type 1 diabetes accounts for about 5% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes, affecting approximately 1.5 million people.

new cases of Diabetes in adults and children • Among people 20 years or older, 1.7 million were newly-diagnosed with diabetes (2012) – approximately 4,657 new cases of diabetes are diagnosed each day.

• About 208,000 people younger than 20 years of age have been diagnosed with diabetes (type 1 or type 2). This represents 0.25% of all people in this age group (2012).

• The incidence of type 1 diabetes is significantly higher in people under age 20. According to a 2008-2009 study of 23,525 youths with diabetes, 78% were newly-diagnosed with type 1 diabetes vs.

22% who were newly-diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.*

Incidence of Diabetes complications • Diabetes can affect many parts of the body and is associated with serious complications, such as heart disease, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, and lower-limb amputation, among other conditions.

• heart Disease, heart attack and stroke • In 2003-2006, after adjusting for population age differences, cardiovascular disease death rates were about 1.7 times higher among adults aged 18 years or older with diagnosed diabetes than among adults without diagnosed diabetes.

• In 2010, after adjusting for population age differences, hospitalization rates for heart attack were 1.8 times higher among adults aged 20 years or older with diagnosed diabetes than among adults without diagnosed diabetes.

• In 2010, after adjusting for population age differences, hospitalization rates for stroke were 1.5 times higher among adults with diagnosed diabetes aged 20 years or older compared to those without diagnosed diabetes.

• blindness and Eye Problems • In 2005-2008, of adults with diabetes aged 40 years or older, 4.2 million (28.5%) people had diabetic retinopathy, damage to the small blood vessels in the retina that may result in loss of vision.

• In 2005-2008, of adults with diabetes aged 40 years or older, 655,000 (4.4%) had advanced diabetes retinopathy that could lead to severe vision loss.

• Kidney Disease • Diabetes was listed as the primary cause of kidney failure in 44% of all new cases in 2011.

• In 2011, 49,677 people of all ages began treatment for kidney failure due to diabetes; and a total of 228,924 people of all ages with kidney failure were living on chronic dialysis or with a kidney transplant.

• amputations • In 2010, about 73,000 non-traumatic lower-limb amputations were performed in adults aged 20 years or older with diagnosed diabetes.

• About 60% of non-traumatic lower-limb amputations among people aged 20 years or older occur in people with diagnosed diabetes.

• hypoglycemia and hyperglycemic crisis • In 2011, about 282,000 emergency room visits for adults aged 18 years or older had hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) as the first-listed diagnosis and diabetes as another diagnosis.

• In 2011, about 175,000 emergency room visits for people of all ages had hyperglycemic (high blood sugar levels) crisis as the first-listed diagnosis.

Diabetes is a Deadly Disease • Diabetes was the seventh leading cause of death in the United States in 2010 based on the 69,071 death certificates in which diabetes was listed as the underlying cause of death. In 2010, diabetes was mentioned as a cause of death in a total of 234,051 death certificates.

• Diabetes may be underreported as a cause of death. Studies have found that only about 35% to 40% of people with diabetes who died had diabetes listed anywhere on the death certificate and about 10% to 15% had it listed as the underlying cause of death.

The cost of Diabetes • In 2012, the total cost of diabetes in the U.S. was $245 billion.

• Of that, $176 billion accounted for direct medical costs. After adjusting for age and sex differences, average medical expenditures among people with diagnosed diabetes were 2.3 times higher than people without diabetes.

• $69 billion was attributed to indirect costs (disability, work loss, premature death).

more about Diabetes • Diabetes is caused by the body’s inability to create or effectively use its own insulin, which is produced by islet cells found in the pancreas. Insulin helps regulate blood sugar (glucose) levels – providing energy to body cells and tissues.

• Without insulin, the body’s cells would be starved, causing dehydration and destruction of body tissue.

• People with type 1 diabetes must have insulin delivered by injection or a pump to survive.

• Many people with type 2 diabetes can control their blood glucose by following a healthy meal plan and a program of regular physical activity, losing excess weight, and taking medications. Medications for each individual with diabetes will often change during the course of the disease. Insulin also is commonly used to control blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes.

The Diabetes Research Institute Foundation is the organization of choice for those who are serious, passionate and committed to curing diabetes. Its mission – to provide the Diabetes Research Institute with the funding necessary to cure diabetes now – is a testament to the belief that tomorrow is not soon enough to cure those living with diabetes.

The Diabetes Research Institute at the University of miami miller school of medicine leads the world in cure-focused research. as the largest and most comprehensive research center dedicated to curing diabetes, the DRI is aggressively working to develop a biological cure by restoring natural insulin production and normalizing blood sugar levels without imposing other risks. Researchers have already shown that transplanted islet cells allow patients to live without the need for insulin therapy. some study participants have maintained insulin independence for more than 10 years. The DRI is now building upon these promising outcomes by developing a DRI biohub, a bioengineered “mini organ” that mimics the native pancreas. While various biohub platforms are being tested in preclinical and clinical studies, the DRI is also developing strategies to eliminate the need for anti-rejection drugs and reset the immune system to block autoimmunity.

The Diabetes Research Institute and Foundation were created for one reason – to cure diabetes – which is and will continue to be the singular focus until that goal is reached. For the millions of children and adults affected by diabetes, the Diabetes Research Institute is the best hope for a cure.
