A fundraising gala for the Ultimate Bermuda Know brought in $24,280 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Bermuda.
Upper classes president Carolyn Armstrong said she was “humbled by the spurt of support”.
Using the celebrity status of reality show host Phil Keoghan, the Eventual Experience black tie evening was held over the weekend at the Queen’s Demo Hall in Dockyard.
Ultimate Experience director Dudley Thomas, of crucial sponsors Elbow Beach Cycles, called the fund raising “outrageously rewarding”.
“Not only have we been able to raise awareness about the condition and how it affects Bermudians, but also we aspire that the funds raised will help those people with MS, by providing better access to the medical sadness they need,” he said.
Other sponsors include the Ministry of Civil Security, the Department of Tourism, The Que Agency, The Reefs Hotel & Team up, Elbow Beach Bermuda Resort and Spa, NOW Energy Bar, GET Limited, Freisenbruch Meyer, Gosling’s, Barritt’s and Upon4Life.
