My Event at The Drake to Support Multiple Sclerosis

Jun 6, 2011

A few weeks ago I hosted my event, Cocktails 4 Causes at the amazing Drake Hotel to support Multiple Sclerosis. The event was a huge success and we ended up raising just under $1000.00! I’m so thankful for all the support from friends and family and the fabulous donations from all the local Chicago businesses.

Helping raise money and awareness for MS became very important to me when my Mum was diagnosed with the disease a few years ago. Being with her and hearing stories from others made me realize that I want to do all I can to be a huge supporter and to help one day find a cure for this disease.

Here are some of the photos from my event.
