"The entertainment industry has proven time and again that it can make a difference in the lives of many through its charitable outreach. While aid to deserving organizations varies from financial contributions to the personal support of conscientious employee volunteers, we take enormous pride in Sony Pictures' support of many worthy causes - among them the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's Southern California chapter and the annual Dinner of Champions event. This fundraiser has been guided with passion and care by our friend Tom Sherak, who has been dedicated to finding a cure for MS. The results speak volumes about the way the industry can and does respond to those in need, but it also shines a spotlight on Tom's tenacity and capacity to use his skills, contacts and rolodex to raise tens of millions of dollars in his quest to seek a cure as well as help protect and care for those suffering from MS."
