Supporters gathered on March 5 for the Patron Party kicking off the 2026 Dallas Gala benefiting Breakthrough T1D, celebrating an exciting milestone: 30 years of the Dallas Gala’s impact in the fight against type 1 diabetes. Hosted by the Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Cove Showroom, the evening also honored the company’s long-standing connection to the T1D community. In the 1930s, Sub-Zero founder Westye Bakke created one of the first reliable home refrigerators after his young son was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and needed a safe way to store insulin. That legacy continues today, with Sub-Zero supporting research and families affected by T1D. - Blake McMullen, Chelsea McMullen, Stacey Johnson, Kendall Kelly (Dallas Gala Chairs)

2003 – An article in Nature identifies the Ciampate del Diavolo as 350,000-year-old hominid footprints. The Ciampate del Diavolo (Neapolitan: "Devil's Footprints" or "Devil's Trails") is a locality near the extinct Roccamonfina volcano in northern Campania, Italy. It is named after fossilized footprints preserved in pyroclastic flow deposits that have been dated to around 350,000 years ago. They have been attributed to bipedal hominids, possibly Homo heidelbergensis, which is known to have inhabited the region at the time. The footprints comprise three sets of tracks indicating that three hominids made their way down a steep slope on the flank of the volcano, away from the crater. The tracks were preserved under a layer of volcanic ash and were revealed by erosion, probably in the late 18th to early 19th century. Local people attributed the prints to the Devil as they regarded him as the only being capable of walking on lava without harm. They were identified as hominid footprints after archaeologists examined them in 2002 and are the second oldest set of hominid footprints known outside Africa, after the Happisburgh footprints.
