Help Unravel the Mystery of MS Multiple sclerosis still remains a relative mystery, with symptoms affecting no two people alike. While many breakthroughs have been made in recent years, including 14 FDA approved disease-modifying treatments and millions of dollars committed to MS research, we still have a long way to go. It is through your ongoing support that the National Multiple Sclerosis Society will continue to move forward as the driving force behind MS research and treatments to stop disease progression, restore function and end MS forever.

Be Part of the Progress Our 2nd annual Dinner of Champions celebrates the progress we have made toward finding a cure and honors those who join us to champion our cause. The festive evening includes a cocktail reception, silent auction, dinner and inspirational program recognizing one extraordinary corporate leader who is helping to advance the MS movement.
