GALA 2010
April 10, 2010
The 2010 Annual Gala at the Renaissance Esmeralda Resort & Spa in Indian Wells will include a fine dining experience, live entertainment and dancing. A special part of the evening is the exclusive “ASK” program to raise awareness of the multiple sclerosis population in the Coachella Valley and the opportunity for guests to make a donation in support of the programs and services offered at no charge to the participants. ACT for MS fund-raising is directed 100% to the needs of Coachella Valley individuals living with Multiple Sclerosis. This local fund-raiser, which results to benefit local community members (our neighbors, friends and families)remains a popular event in the Valley’s Spring social calendar.
