Waynes World Actress Tia Carrere Interview at 31st Annual Race To Erase MS Gala

Bionic Buzz® covered the red carpet of the 31st Annual Race To Erase MS Gala at Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California. Race to Erase MS is dedicated to the treatment and ultimate cure of Multiple Sclerosis. Funding research is the core focus of the Foundation and all funds raised support our Center Without Walls program, a selected network of the nation’s top MS research centers. This nationwide collaboration of physicians and scientists are on the cutting-edge of innovative research programs, working as a team on therapeutic approaches to eradicate MS. In addition to combating MS through research in a clinical environment, we hope to increase awareness by educating the public about this mystifying disease.
Since 1994, the Race to Erase MS has raised $55,222,578 in contributions. Since 1999, only 11% of contributions raised have been spent on fundraising which equals a fundraising efficiency of 11% as the foundation only spends 11 cents for every $1 in contributions raised. The Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance recommends a charity spend no more than 35% of contributions on fundraising. Since 1999, the foundation has funded MS research grants and programs totaling $33,046,585. Our core focus is to assist in the treatment and ultimate cure of MS. 72% percent of all Race to Erase MS spending since 1999 has been on program activities, funding cutting-edge research through our Center Without Walls program, which is greater than the 65% recommended by the Better Business Bureau Wise Giving Alliance.
The Race to Erase MS was founded by Nancy Davis in 1993 after being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. After her diagnosis, she was determined to devote her time and resources to finding a cure. Nancy’s hope, courage and strength continue to inspire her to maintain a vibrant quality of life despite this chronic disease, but most of all, she remains positive, continues to live her life to the fullest and is tireless in her efforts to finding the cure for MS.
In the process of learning all she could about multiple sclerosis, she discovered that MS affects close to two million Americans primarily between the ages of 20 and 40, and three times as many women as men, Nancy Davis made it her deep personal commitment to help find the cause and ultimately the cure of this disease. In 1993 she founded the Race to Erase MS and held the first Race to Erase MS event - an intimate ski getaway weekend in Aspen, Colorado - that pulled in over $1.3 million for the Center Without Walls Program. Since its inception, the Race to Erase MS has become an exciting star-studded gala. The foundation has gained the support of many key individuals in the fashion and entertainment worlds, including Tommy Hilfiger who has been a major sponsor since 1997 and who has a sister living with MS. The annual Race to Erase MS event has raised over $35 million for multiple sclerosis research to date.
