Dinner to be held Thursday, August 27, 2015
Los Angeles, CA, August 26, 2015 --(PR.com)-- What: Shemar Moore, best known for his role as “FBI Special Agent Derek Morgan” on the hit CBS show, Criminal Minds, will be honored at the 40th annual Dinner of Champions, sponsored by and benefiting the National MS Society in Southern California. The event raises funds that support the National MS Society’s vital programs and services to improve the quality of life for people living with MS, as well as cutting-edge research worldwide for better treatments and a cure.
Moore has been a major supporter and contributor to the National MS Society for ten years through the annual Bike MS: Coastal Challenge cycling event in honor of his mother, Marilyn, who lives with MS and will also be honored with this year’s Dorothy Corwin “Spirit of Life” Award. Moore’s continued efforts to bring awareness and raise funds will be a welcome addition to the Los Angeles Dinner of Champions, which has raised nearly $50 million for people with MS since 1993.

Facts: 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. The Society mobilizes people and resources to drive research for a cure and to address the challenges of everyone affected by MS. In 2014 alone, through our comprehensive nationwide network of programs and services, the Society devoted $122.2 million to assist more than one million individuals to connect to the people, information and resources they needed. To move us closer to a world free of MS, the Society also invested $50.2 million to support more than 380 new and ongoing research projects around the world. We are united in our collective power to do something about MS now and end this disease forever. Learn more at www.nationalMSsociety.org.
