In an effort to create a world free of Multiple Sclerosis, Highgrove hosted a fund-raiser for the Connecticut Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society on Thursday, Jan. 29. The event was held at the community’s Sales and Design Center, located at 992 Summer Street in Stamford, Conn.
The cocktail reception fund-raiser featured distinguished speakers James Amann, speaker of the house for the State of Connecticut, and Dr. Fred D. Lublin, the Saunders Family professor of neurology at Mount Sinai School of Medicine and director of the Corinne Goldsmith Dickinson Center for Multiple Sclerosis at Mount Sinai.
“At Highgrove, we believe it’s important to support organizations working in our community and were deeply touched by the efforts of the Connecticut Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society to find a cure for this debilitating disease,” stated Jason Schlesinger, principal of Highgrove owner Ceebraid-Signal. “The cocktail reception on Jan. 29 was an opportunity for members of the greater Stamford community to socialize while raising money for one of Connecticut’s most worthy causes.”
In addition to the distinguished speakers that were on hand, the event featured an informal fashion show by Valentino-trained designer D. Lasprogata.
