Goo Goo Dolls Headline 39th Carousel Ball Honoring Neil Diamond

The Goo Goo Dolls will headline the 39th annual Carousel Ball on October 11, 2025, supporting the Children’s Diabetes Foundation (CDF) in Denver. The event benefits the Barbara Davis Center for Diabetes, focusing on research to prevent and cure type 1 diabetes and providing patient support and education. Neil Diamond will receive the Inspirational Lifetime Achievement Award for his long-term dedication to the foundation, while the MacMillan family will be honored with the High Hopes Tribute Award. Band members John Rzeznik and Robby Takac expressed their honor in supporting the cause and noted the progress made in diabetes research and care. The Carousel Ball, presented by Dexcom and sponsored by various organizations, has raised more than $117 million since its inception, largely through musical performances and community support. The Davis family praised the Goo Goo Dolls for their musical impact and collaborative spirit in helping to advance the foundation’s nearly 50 years of efforts.
