The MileStones Gala is a time to recognize and celebrate significant landmarks and achievements in the movement to create a world free of MS. These successes can be in the research or clinical sectors, or in fundraising and leadership among other categories. MileStones is one of the Greater New England Chapter’s premier fundraising campaigns. It is an empowering way for corporate leaders to help the National MS Society fund cutting-edge research and treatments to stop progression, restore function, and end MS forever, and at the same time help each individual address the challenges of living with multiple sclerosis
