Hope And High Fashion

The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, South Florida Chapter, will host its 36th Annual MS Gala Luncheon on Jan. 25 at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton. 

Money raised from the event will fund cutting-edge research and provide programs and services for more than 8,500 South Floridians living with multiple sclerosis.

Event chair Ila Feld Davidoff and honorary co-chairs Monica Goldstein and Carrie Schulman will present the MS Hope Award - the organization's highest volunteer award - to Lisa and Michael Kaufman.

Lisa, owner of retail chain Scout & Molly's Boutique, and Michael, CEO of Kaufman Lynn Construction, are longtime supporters of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Lisa is living with MS and has participated in several Bike MS rides. They are dedicated to helping the society raise funds and awareness not only for those living with the disease in South Florida but for millions of people worldwide.

"We are so pleased to recognize Lisa and Michael for their impact in our community," says President Robin Nunley. "The MS Gala Luncheon is a wonderful opportunity not only to have fun, check out the latest fashions and network but also to highlight the incredible things the society is doing for those living with MS - made possible by the efforts of people like the Kaufmans."

The luncheon will include a cocktail reception, a fashion show, a silent auction, raffle prizes and the chance to engage with the business and community leaders of South Florida.

Neiman Marcus Boca Raton will present ready-to-wear apparel and accessories from Balmain, Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana, Akris, Victoria Beckham, Roland Mouret and more. O
