The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will host the 2026 MS Gala luncheon on March 10 at Boca West Country Club, bringing together community leaders, philanthropists and advocates to support the fight against multiple sclerosis.
Presented in memory of Harriette Tucker, a devoted friend and supporter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the luncheon will honor her lasting commitment to improving the lives of those affected by MS.
The event will feature keynote speaker Jonah Platt, an actor, writer and advocate. Platt and his wife, Courtney, have long been champions within the MS community following Courtney’s diagnosis, using their platform to raise awareness, foster empathy and support ongoing research. Platt’s remarks are expected to offer a personal and inspiring perspective on resilience and hope.
Guests will also enjoy a live auction featuring exclusive items and experiences. Proceeds from the luncheon support the Society’s research initiatives, advocacy efforts and programs that help people affected by MS live their best lives.
Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable disease of the central nervous system affecting nearly 1 million people in the United States. While there is currently no cure, early diagnosis and treatment are critical to minimizing disability, and continued progress is being made toward a world free of MS.
The Boca Raton Observer is the exclusive magazine sponsor for this event.
