Networking. Fine Dining. Philanthropy.
I’m excited to share that this November 14, 2024, I’ll be attending the Cocktail Signature SP 2024, hosted by Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada – Quebec Division.
This is a fantastic event aimed at raising $175,000 to support MS research, provide crucial programs and services to people living with multiple sclerosis (MS), and raise awareness of a cause that is close to my heart.
A Night for MS:
The evening promises to be an inspiring blend of networking, gourmet food, and live music, all in support of an incredible cause.
Here’s a glimpse at what’s in store:
- A keynote address by Dr. Jack Antel, a leading MS researcher

It’s an opportunity to connect with others who care about the fight against MS, hear from experts in the field, and contribute to advancing research that could lead to better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

A Cause That Affects Us All
For those who may not know, Canada has one of the highest rates of MS in the world. Every day, 12 Canadians are diagnosed with the disease. MS is a chronic autoimmune condition that attacks the central nervous system, leading to unpredictable symptoms that vary from person to person. It primarily affects individuals aged 20 to 49, and its effects are lifelong.
MS Society of Canada does incredible work supporting people living with MS, advocating for their rights, and funding research to understand the disease and find a cure.
By attending this event, I’ll be supporting those efforts and helping to raise funds for the cause.
Key Guests and Speakers
I’m also looking forward to hearing from a number of inspiring individuals who are helping to make a difference in the MS community:
- Diego Mena Martínez, Executive Director of MS Society of Canada – Quebec Division
- Dr. Jack Antel, renowned MS researcher
- Tommy Nguyen, Director at Desjardins and Co-Chair of Cocktail Signature SP 2024
- Shahir Guindi, Ad. E., Partner at Osler and Co-Chair of Cocktail Signature SP 2024
It’s a great opportunity to learn more about the disease, connect with leaders in the business and healthcare communities, and be part of something truly meaningful.
Why I’m Excited to Be There
This event is about so much more than just a night out—it’s about making a tangible difference. I’m excited to be part of the effort to reach the $175,000 fundraising goal, and I truly believe that the money raised will help advance critical research and improve the lives of people living with MS.
If you’re interested, I’d love for you to join me in supporting this amazing cause.
