Charity Pong-A-Thon

The fifth-annual Charity Pong-A-Thon was a great success! This year's fundraising event took place May 31, 2008 at Regional Food and Drink in Washington, DC. The Charity Pong-A-Thon is a successful annual fundraiser for the Chapter, bringing young people into the fight against MS.

Nate Rose started the Charity Pong-A Thon five years ago, as a fundraiser for his mother, who is living with MS. The tournament consists of food and drink specials, with over 176 people competing in teams of two. "Since I started this event, I have helped almost a dozen other young people start their own charity events," said Rose.
