33rd Annual Dinner of Champions September 24, 2007
A Grand Gala
The 33rd Annual Dinner of Champions on September 24th was once again a monumental success, raising $2.5 million for MS research, programs and services. Actor Kevin James presented the Dinner of Champions Award to Rob Moore, President Worldwide Marketing, Distribution and Home Entertainment of Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom, Inc.
Rob and Paramount Pictures have wholeheartedly joined the movement to end MS.
NASCAR Truck Driver Kelly Sutton received the Dorothy Corwin Spirit of Life Award for her efforts to raise MS awareness and proved to the world that MS will not stop her from moving forward. She is one of very few women, and the only person with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, known to race in NASCAR.
Grammy winning group The Manhattan Transfer and Tony Award winner Idina Menzel performed at the dinner.
Toy Box Entertainment produced an informative video narrated by Jamie Lee Curtis that focused on exciting research on estriol.
We owe tremendous gratitude to our Dinner Chairs, Brad Grey, Joe Roth and trustee Tom Sherak and their entire fund raising committee and co-chairs especially Arthur & Britta Schramm, Annis Kishner and Angela Pierce for their tremendous contribution to our success.
Many thanks also to our event hosts: Access Integrated Technologies, CHRISTIE, Deluxe Entertainment Services Group, Paramount Pictures, Regal Entertainment Group, Revolution Studios, and Toy Box Entertainment.
Thank you to every one of our donors who support the Dinner of Champions and move us closer each year to a world free of MS.
