Dinner of Champions

Utah champions from all corners of the community came together for the 34th Annual Dinner of Champions, presented by the McCarthey Family at La Caille Restaurant on September 12, 2012. The gala event for the National MS Society Utah-Southern Idaho Chapter celebrates athletic and community leaders who inspire all to keep moving forward with drive and determination.

We raised nearly $110,000 for the Society which will help to support local programs and services for people impacted by multiple sclerosis and funding research that will find ways to stop the disease, restore what’s been lost and to end MS forever.

The evening celebration was emceed by Bill Marcroft, the "Voice of the Utes" for close to 40 years, and Philip G. McCarthey, a long-time supporter of the Society.
