Who doesn't appreciate gorgeous gowns and a good party?

The Frocktail party was started by a group of close friends whom wanted to make a difference. One of their own, Vanessa Oliver was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the young age of six and has lived with daily insulin injections, finger pokes, an insulin pump and the worry of long-term complications every day of her life for the past 25 years. These close friends have watched Vanessa and her fam face these challenges with courage, grace and a fierce commitment to supporting a quest for a cure. Because of this they were inspired to create the Frocktail Party to show love for their wonderous friend while helping gain support and funds for the JDRF.
