The National Multiple Sclerosis Society, New York City - Southern New York Chapter will celebrate the 25th Annual Ultimate Summertime Party on Thursday, July 23, 2009 debuting at its new location, 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 drink 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.
For over two decades, this event has been just as popular with our vendors as it has been with our attendees and corporate sponsors. That’s because these sponsors enjoy valuable on-site visibility highlighting their brand while demonstrating social responsibility and community involvement by supporting the hundreds of annual programs and services for people living with MS in NYC, as well as national 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 Truck Stop, Fuze, Hebrew National, Kettle Corn, Manhattan Beer Distributors, Metro 53, Nestle Water, Saloon, Sam Adams, and more.
Our Past corporate sponsors include: Presenting Sponsor News Corporation, Acorda Therapeutics, BNY Jaywalk, Cadwalader Wickersham and Taft, Carat North America, Deloitte, Deutsche Bank, Fox Rothschild, 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.
