GREATER HARTFORD MS TASTE OF HOPE TOTALS RECORD $19K

The 2012 Greater Hartford MS Taste of Hope attracted more than 200 guests and raised a record $19,000. The taste event, which was held at The Society Room in Hartford, featured restaurants from throughout Greater Hartford as well as other local specialty vendors. Funds raised aid ongoing scientific research to find a cure for the 450,000 Americans battling multiple sclerosis. The funds also provide for the continuation of programs and services offered by the National MS Society, Connecticut Chapter, to the more than 6,000 Connecticut residents living with MS.
