The New York City – Southern New York Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society is celebrating the 27th Annual Ultimate Summertime Party presented by News Corporation on Thursday, July 21, 2011 at The Central Park Zoo. We would love for you to be a part of it!
Hosted by The Manhattan Society, the chapter’s junior volunteer committee, the event will bring 1,000 young professionals together for an adventurous night under the stars featuring food and beverages from restaurants and popular local bars such as yours and we’d love for you to participate by serving up samples of your food and/or drink.
This event has been just as popular with our vendors as it has been with our attendees and corporate sponsors for more than two decades. That’s because our sponsors enjoy valuable on-site visibility, highlighting their brand while also demonstrating social responsibility and community involvement by supporting the hundreds of programs and services the chapter provides people living with MS, their friends and family, and critical national MS research.
Some of our past food and beverage hosts have included: Atomic Wings, Becco, BiCE, Brassfield Estates, Copper Door, Coors Brewing Company, Cosi, Fat Annie's, Fuze, Hard Rock Cafe, Kettle Corn, Manhattan Beer Distributors, Metro 53, MillerCoors, Saloon, Sam Adams, The Volstead and more.
Our Past corporate sponsors include: Acorda Therapeutics, BNY Jaywalk, Cadwalader Wickersham and Taft, Carat North America, Deloitte, Deutsche Bank, Fox Rothschild, News Corporation, Pfizer Inc, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Reckitt Benckiser, Signature Bank, Teva Neuroscience and more.
Previous media partners include: Charity Happenings, New York Post, Thrillist, Time Out NY, WKTU, Z-100, and more. Since its inception in 1985, The Manhattan Society has raised more than $6 million and become one of the most successful volunteer groups in the country through fun, high profile events such as the Ultimate Summertime Party.
