It is given to those who strive to improve the quality of life today and create a better world tomorrow for people living with MS.  The National Multiple Sclerosis Society is truly honored to recognize Randall Webb for his many years of outstanding public and community service.  The MS Hope Award is given to those who have had a distinguished career, who are involved and committed to community affairs, who are leaders among their peers and who’s personal lives are exemplary.  Honorees are selected because of their leadership and community service and for their continued support of programs and improving the quality of life for people living with MS.
Uncorking the Cure for MS attendees will enjoy catering by KFB Events, Roberts + Rogers Wines, live and silent auctions, a wine pull, Kendra Scott jewelry pull and live entertainment by the Tulsa Playboys.  Cocktail attire is requested.

Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. 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 at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 2.3 million people worldwide.
The Society mobilizes people and resources so that everyone affected by multiple sclerosis can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever. Last year alone, through our comprehensive nationwide network of services, the Society devoted more than $100 million to connect approximately one million people affected by MS to the connections, information and resources they need. We are united in our collective power to do something about MS now and end this disease forever.
Early and ongoing treatment with an FDA-approved therapy can make a difference for people with multiple sclerosis. Learn about your options by talking to your health care professional and contacting the National MS Society today.
