Nick Jonas Honored at 6th Annual Carnival For a Cure

To the delight of the event's organizers, Nick Jonas made a return appearance at the 6th Annual Carnival For A Cure in New York City on Sunday (March 13).

Joined at the Metropolitan Pavilion venue by his parents, Kevin Sr. and Denise Jonas, the "Camp Rock" star took the stage alongside Diabetes Research Institute CEO Robert A. Pearlman to accept a plaque from the organization in recognition of his efforts to improve life for those suffering from the autoimmune related disease.

Clearly excited about being able to pitch in during the Carnival For A Cure, Nick told press prior to the event, “I’m looking forward to attending and sharing my story about how diabetes hasn’t slowed me down.”

Meanwhile, Carnival co-chair Carolyn Goldfarb said, “In 2007, we were fortunate to have the Jonas Brothers perform at Carnival for a Cure. Nick silenced the crowd when he divulged for the first time that he has type 1 diabetes. From that moment forward, he sensitized millions of teens and parents to the disease and the need to find a cure."

Fellow co-chair Holly Sherr added, “We are so excited to have him back at this event that benefits the Diabetes Research Institute, the only organization solely dedicated to finding a cure for diabetes."
