October Harvest for a Cure Raises $383K+ for Multiple Sclerosis

The fourth annual Harvest for a Cure, which took place Oct. 19 at Mason Fine Art, has harvested a bounty of funds and hope for those living with multiple sclerosis (MS). Thanks go to all the generous donors, Atlanta chefs, pastry chefs, sommeliers, mixologists and contributors of exquisite raffle prizes. The culinary nirvana-for-a-cause event cooked up $383,335 to support the Georgia Chapter of the National MS Society and its efforts to help research, treat and end the debilitating disease globally. Roy A. Rangel, president of the Georgia Chapter of the National MS Society, credits the incredibly committed group of sponsors, volunteers and guests with the accomplishment of raising almost $30,000 more than last year. “Our chef chair Gerry Klaskala and his extraordinarily talented and generous team of chefs, pastry chefs, sommeliers and mixologists once again created a delicious experience our donors will not soon forget,” commends Rangel. Elaine Carlos, an event co-chair, wholeheartedly agrees. Her husband was diagnosed with MS at age 28. A cure can’t come soon enough.
