Let's turn up to help create a world free of multiple sclerosis! Join us for our second annual MS Summer Soiree a cocktail and silent auction event supporting the Southern California & Nevada chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Last year we raised over $53,497 and sold over 250 tickets. We can’t wait to beat that this year. We’ll have another fun night of food, drinks, entertainment, music, dancing and a celebratory environment to celebrate and strengthen our younger MS community while raising lots of money. There will also be a silent auction featuring a ton of in-demand prizes and experiences as well as a raffle. All event proceeds benefit the National MS Society to support research, advocacy, programs, and services that improve the lives of the 20,000 people affected by MS in Southern California and 2.3 million people worldwide. Dress Code: Cocktail Casual WHAT IS MS? MS is an unpredictable, often disabling disease where the immune system attacks the healthy cells of the central nervous system, disrupting communication between the brain and the rest of the body. It affects everyone differently and has a wide range of symptoms that that can include everything from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, and it’s 2-3 times more common in women than men. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person can not yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to a better understanding of the disease and moving us closer to a world free of MS.
