The fourth annual “Bubbles & Brunch to End MS,” hosted by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society at the Island Hotel Newport Beach on Saturday, August 26 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. will feature Ronda Giangreco of California who turned her MS diagnosis into a year-long Italian dinner party.

Giangreco, the event’s keynote speaker, faced her diagnosis in 2010 by creating fifty-two Italian dinners and filling her life with love, laughter, and a whole lot of pasta! Ronda encourages others to live wholeheartedly despite their challenges.

The fundraiser, which starts with its signature complimentary champagne reception and premier silent auction, will also include a three-course brunch and inspirational speakers who share their stories about life with MS and MS breakthroughs.

Seats are limited to 350 guests. Tickets are $100 each; tables start at $1,000 and can be purchased at bubblesandbrunch.org or by calling 800.486.6762.
