MS Leadership Class
Dear ,

Pat CroceMembers of the MS Leadership Class of 2011 and their nominators gathered yesterday to celebrate their fundraising success in surpassing the $125,000 class goal. Thank you for all your hard work in making this possible.
 
As he has for the past 16 years, Pat Croce presented our honorees with the MS Leadership Award and shared his own experiences working with clients with MS as a physical therapist.
 
The growing personal and financial demands of MS mean that the funds raised by the MS Leadership Class are more important than ever.
 
Here's an example of the lasting impact you've made:
Paul Maugeri has been involved with the Society for the past three decades after he was diagnosed with MS. He supported this chapter with his fundraising efforts until it turned out he needed some extra support from us. We were able to help him pay for a home modification that has restored his independence. Click here to read more of Paul's story.
 
Please contact us to let us know how you would like to stay involved with the Society in the years to come. Read on for all the ways you can make your mark against MS.
 
Honorees, if you didn't have your picture taken at the Awards Reception, please submit a headshot by Thursday, October 13. Your picture will be included in the Philadelphia Business Journal insert with your bio.
 
We sincerely thank you for helping us create a world free of MS.
 
Sincerely,
Kristina McGraw
Vice President, Development
