On Friday, August 17, 2018, Nevada Center for Biomedical Research (NVCBR) will host Cheers, its annual fundraising event to benefit treatment discovery for myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) (also called ME/CFS). The event will take place from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. at The Grove at South Creek. The event will feature select wine and champagne and delicious food. Guests will have plenty of opportunities to take home unique items and experiences by participating in the silent auction and fun games.
The proceeds from Cheers are crucial to making advances in ME, a debilitating disease without medical solutions. Multiple sclerosis (MS) and ME have a similar serious impact on patients, but they are miles apart when it comes to medical options. While there are 25 FDA-approved drug treatment choices for those with MS, there are none approved for ME patients. Providing support for the discovery of medical answers and sharing that information with the world are our most critical challenges.
Thanks to incredibly generous donations from individuals and businesses, we have a fantastic collection of items for our silent auction, and this year, you can start your bidding early online! So, please bid on and enjoy these wonderful items while supporting NVCBR’s scientific discovery to help improve the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases that place a significant burden on the global community.
