WHAT IS MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS? Multiple sclerosis (MS) interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. MS is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress and severity cannot yet be predicted. While research has brought better therapies, there is no cure. NATIONAL MS SOCIETY Since its founding in 1946, the National MS Society is the leader in the fight against MS with more MS research, services for people with MS, professional educational programs, and advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world. The Oregon Chapter serves over 8,100 individuals with MS in Oregon and SW Washington. Since 1964, we’ve dedicated ourselves to move toward a world free of MS. OUR EVENT – GALA MS 2015 The evening provides a distinct opportunity to:
• Meet 250-‐300 other leaders in our community • Dine on delicious, locally-‐sourced gourmet dishes • Partake of Oregon’s finest wines • Enjoy fascinating true stories about life with MS, plus live music
by renowned Portland acts
And, of course, your participation in the event—from sponsoring to making a donation—helps the Society make a world of difference for those living with MS in our neighborhood.
Sponsor Gala MS by April 30 and get VIP tix for our Pink Martini sing-‐along.

WHY ARE CORPORATE PARTNERSHIPS IMPORTANT? The Society believes that moving is not just something you can or can’t do, but is who you are. This is why we need companies like yours to support Gala MS 2015—to raise funds that drive research, inspire change through advocacy, and provide programs and services for a growing number of people living with MS. MS research and programs are expensive, but community-‐supported events such as Gala MS 2015 enable us to generate a significant amount of funding by engaging the community in a successful and inspiring way to end MS forever.
Benefits for all levels of sponsorship are far reaching and include brand and media exposure, name recognition, onsite event benefits, and employee engagement opportunities.

WHY GET INVOLVED WITH A CAUSE?
Since 1946, the Society has been at the core of virtually every major breakthrough to treat and understand the disease. We are currently funding more than 325 research projects worldwide, fueling more potential MS therapies in development than at any other time in history. And, many of those dollars are invested locally in the OHSU MS Center, one of the nation’s leaders in MS research. We need your help to accelerate the momentum of MS research and ensure that its positive impact reaches the lives of the ones we love. Your support today brings us closer to a world free of MS tomorrow.
