Steven Sonberg
Caryn Sonberg was just 18 months old when she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, in 1978.
Her father, Steve, a lawyer, joined the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation and eventually became Chairman of the Board of Directors in the mid-80’s.
His priority: to make sure the Foundation operated responsibly and efficiently -- spending every available dollar where it belongs: on cure-focused research.
It’s a priority that remains intact to this day.
