Cooks and Chords brings community together to celebrate with food and spirits while raising money for the Arizona Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
Tickets are available for the Arizona Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Cooks and Chords – A Taste for a World Free of MS presented by Mayo Clinic and Express Scripts. The event will be held Saturday, September 15, 2012 at the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale.
Chef-prepared dishes paired with delicious spirits and wonderfully-appointed acoustic music will be available for guests to enjoy — as will as a raffle and silent auction. Guests will also enjoy a cooking demonstration from Gabriele Bertaccini of Il Tocco.
Restaurants and sponsors include Mayo Clinic, Barefoot Wine, Aiello’s Salumeria, Sierra Bonita Grill, Charr Burger, Isa’s Pizza and Brio.
Last year, the 5th annual Corks and Chords event raised more than $30,000 to provide programs for people living with multiple sclerosis and fund research toward the cure and treatment of this chronic disease of the central nervous system.
About Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S., and 2.5 million worldwide.

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society helps each person address the challenges of living with MS through its 50 state network of chapters. It funds more MS research, provides more services to people with MS, offers more professional education and further more advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world.
