 Sponsorship - Unmask a Cure for MS
Fundraising Ball
Please join me at my Fundraising Masquerade Ball to help research into finding a cure for Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) affects 18,000 people in Australia alone but, with an annual seven percent increase in diagnoses, this debilitating disease is a growing problem, particularly affecting young people in their prime.

I am committed to bringing awareness of this disease to help ease the suffering of those who struggle with MS on a daily basis.

Please help support my event by becoming a sponsor, purchasing a ticket or a table of 10 and coming on the night. Comedian Mark Mitchell, you may remember from the Comedy Company in the 1980's is our MC.

Funds raised will assist the work of renowned MS Researcher Professor Claude Bernard. For additional information about Professor Bernard's research, visit the Monash University Professor Claude Bernard Webpage.

I look forward to seeing you on the night.

Cr Diana Asmar
Mayor, City of Darebin
