Breakthrough T1D Anniversary Promise Ball

Since 2002 Show Ready has been partnering with the JDRF Metro Detroit SE, MI Chapter to bring awareness and support to the effort to cure type 1 diabetes (T1D). Since our partnership began we have been helping the JDRF team bring exciting themes to life, tell real-life stories, and drive fundraising efforts to all-time highs. For the past several years, the JDRF Promise Ball consistently raises more than $2.5 Million in one night.

WOW, WOW, WOW! Last night was amazing. The entire Show Ready team deserves a standing ovation for this extremely successful event! Down to the last detail, you nailed this project for us. The event raised a record $2.3 million dollars!

The Venue

Michigan Central Station

Michigan Central’s historic architecture creates a spectacular setting—and significant acoustic challenges.

Show Ready’s experience producing events in the space has helped our team develop an engineered approach to audio design that addresses those conditions. That firsthand knowledge also informs how we coordinate staging, video, lighting and show flow within the venue.

For Breakthrough T1D’s Detroit Promise Ball, Show Ready provided lighting, scenic elements, event technology and technical production support.

The value isn’t simply knowing the venue. It’s understanding how the space performs during a live event—and bringing that knowledge to the next production.
