The annual National MS Society Ambassadors Ball, a premier event in the Washington, D.C. fall social season for the past four decades, has raised more than $21 million to support the National MS Society. The 43rd Ambassadors Ball welcomes Congressional Members, Ambassadors, business and philanthropic leaders, and their spouses to honor the Diplomatic Corps for their charitable activities and humanitarian endeavors.
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society exists because there are people with MS. Our vision is a world free of MS. Everything we do is focused so that people affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever.
