Multiple Sclerosis 2nd Saturday Fundraiser

Art Lovers and MS Society Supporters,

Thank you to all those who joined former mayor Heather Fargo April 10, 2010 for “Art for MS” at the Fe Gallery, and supported our silent ART auction and raffle at Fe Gallery to benefit MS.It was due to your support that we were able to raise awareness and net $8384.58 for the National Society for Multiple Sclerosis.

What a wonderful event here is a quick recap of our evening Artist reception from 5-9pm, a Silent ART auction, raffle, demonstrations of Blacksmithing by Richard Schrader, glass blowing by René Steinke, Portrait Sketching by Michael Bookout, Tape by Danny Scheible, best in Show awards, music by Pamela Pamperin Harpist. In addition supporters enjoyed Hoppy’s beer, Bogle wine, Peet’s coffee and wonderful appetizers from Anna Kate and crew.

Our mission to bring awareness to our community was a wonderful success and if you missed this event please be aware that studies show that early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can reduce future disease activity and improve quality of life for many people with multiple sclerosis. Talk to your health care professional and for more information contact the National MS Society at www.nationalmssociety.org or 1-800-FIGHT-MS to learn about ways to help manage and about current research that may one day reveal a cure.

Multiple sclerosis (or MS) is not contagious; it is a chronic, often disabling disease that
attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord,
and optic nerves. Today, new treatments and advances in research are giving new hope
to people affected by the disease your art purchases will benefit these programs through
the National MS Society.

Your SUPPORT for our community was greatly appreciated and was a much needed step to bring awareness to our community, fund cutting-edge research, drive change through advocacy, facilitate professional education, and provide programs and services to help people with
MS and their families move their lives forward.
