Join us as we celebrate the 23rd annual On the Move Luncheon - Virtually! Our Luncheon is an annual event where business leaders and community members come together to celebrate excellence, generosity, and achievement and to raise funds and awareness to help find a cure for multiple sclerosis. Funds raised impact MS research, programs, and services that help those living with MS.
Due to COVID-19 and the safety of our community, the National MS Society has decided to continue hosting this event virtually, instead of our traditional in-person gathering. After a successful virtual event in 2020, we look forward to seeing and hearing our guests' passion in this virtual format once again!
Register today to receive a link to join the streamed program at 12pm EDT on September 23rd from wherever you are. All are welcome!
