National MS Society's ``Dinner of Champions'' Sept. 14
for Tuesday (Sept. 14)
--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
WHAT:
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society will honor Tom
Rothman, Chairman of Fox Filmed Entertainment, at the 30th
Annual Dinner of Champions. The award will be presented by
Nicole Kidman. A special award will be presented to Oscar(R)
nominated actress Teri Garr by her friend and colleague Roger
Birnbaum.

Anderson, Ron Livingston, Kevin James, Bill Pullman, John

Background: The Dinner of Champions is one of the most highly
visible and anticipated fund raising events in Los Angeles,
one that has been overwhelmingly embraced by the entertainment
industry. Each year, the dinner honors a philanthropist who
has made a significant contribution to the fight against
multiple sclerosis. Last year's event raised $3 million to
fund local and national programs and services. Because of fund
raising events such as the Dinner of Champions, the National
MS Society is able to spend more money on MS research than any
other voluntary health organization in the world. This year
the Society will invest over $30 million to support MS
research, and more than $5 million is currently in place
locally at UCLA, USC and the VA Medical Center. Proceeds from
the Dinner also support vital programs for people who have MS
and their families.
