Lance Bass, a former *NSYNC member and Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) advocate, will be honored with the Spotlight Award at the Breakthrough T1D Los Angeles Gala on October 10. The event, hosted by Breakthrough T1D (formerly JDRF), aims to raise funds for T1D research. Bass, who was diagnosed with T1D during the COVID-19 lockdown, has become a prominent advocate for the T1D community.

The gala, which will be held at the Skirball Cultural Center, will include dinner, cocktails, dancing, silent and live auctions, and Breakthrough T1D's Fund A Cure program, where donations will directly support the organization's research efforts. The gala's co-chairs are Laura Mecoy and Cary Walker. *NSYNC, known for hits like "Bye Bye Bye" and "It's Gonna Be Me," has a rich history of success on the Billboard charts, including six top 10 hits and two No. 1 albums.
