May 10th: Marking a Moment of Tranquility at the Race to Erase MS Gala

 

On May 10th, we are honored to be a part of the 2024 Race to Erase MS Annual Gala. At the beautiful Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel, the evening will serve as not just a glamorous affair but a source of hope in the fight against Multiple Sclerosis (MS), a disease that affects millions of people worldwide. At Altha, our dedication to holistic wellness aligns seamlessly with the mission of this incredible organization, and we are incredibly excited to join in this year's gala.

 Uniting for a Cause: Altha's Contribution to the Silent Auction

A Private Sound Bath Experience

At Altha, we specialize in the art of sound healing, an experience that immerses participants in a symphony of soothing sounds, promoting relaxation, stress reduction, and overall well-being. We believe in the power of sound to heal and rejuvenate the mind, body, and spirit. It is with excitement and gratitude that we announce our contribution to the Race to Erase MS Gala's silent auction: a private sound bath experience hosted by Altha founder and lead healer, Letizia Silvestri.

Attendees of the gala will have the opportunity to bid on this unique experience, offering a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and indulge in a moment of tranquility. Whether experienced solo or shared with loved ones, our sound bath promises to transport participants to a state of deep relaxation, allowing them to truly unwind and recharge.

Can’t attend the Gala but interested in the silent auction? Good news - you can bid online starting two weeks before the event. Follow @racetoerasems on Instagram to stay updated.

Hypnosis and MS

Did you know that hypnosis can help provide relief for those with MS? Hypnotherapy can be used for a range of symptoms including pain, spasm, anxiety and depression. Though more research needs to be done on MS specifically, preliminary studies suggest that hypnosis-induced relaxation can help reduce anxiety and pain in those with MS. At Altha we are thrilled to offer hypnosis-infused sound healing that targets that specific issue.

About the Organization: The Race to Erase MS

The Center Without Walls Program

The Race to Erase MS organization is dedicated to funding research aimed at finding a cure for MS through its Center Without Walls program. This nationwide collaboration of top MS research centers is at the forefront of innovative research, working tirelessly to develop new approaches to combat this complex and mystifying disease. By supporting the gala and participating in the silent auction, attendees will directly contribute to these vital research efforts, bringing us one step closer to eradicating MS.

An Evening of Elegance and Entertainment

Musical Performances and Fashion Show

In addition to the silent auction, the evening promises a lineup of entertainment and activities fitting for such a grand occasion. Well-known artists Natasha Bedingfield and A Great Big World will grace the stage with their incredible performances, while L'agence will showcase their latest fashion creations, adding an extra flair to the event. Past attendees of the Race to Erase MS Gala have included Avril Lavigne, Tommy Hilfiger, Kris Jenner, Flo Rida, Kelly Osbourne, Khloe Kardashian, Kathy Hilton, Alessandra Ambrosio, Ashlee Simpson and more.

The gala will also feature a cocktail reception, live auction, and a delicious dinner, providing ample opportunities for guests to mingle, network, and, most importantly, unite in support of a common cause.

Continuing the Conversation: The MS Forum and Expo

The impact and efforts of the Race to Erase MS Gala will not end with the conclusion of the evening. On May 11th, attendees will have the opportunity to continue their engagement at the MS Forum and Expo, where they can hear from a stellar team of doctors about the latest research and advancements in MS care. This extension of the gala ensures that the conversation and momentum generated on May 10th carry forward, fostering ongoing education, awareness, and advocacy in the fight against MS.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those affected by MS, offering hope and healing through our collective efforts.
