The first annual Taste of Generosity: Cocktails & Nosh (formerly known as the On the Move Luncheon) will be hosted Thursday, Aug. 18, at the Courtyard Minneapolis Downtown to raise funds to fuel MS research and help support people living with multiple sclerosis in the Upper Midwest Chapter area. Guests will sip and nosh while perusing a slate of silent auction items and connecting with other movers and shakers in the Twin Cities MS community.
Taste of Generosity will feature craft cocktails and tastings courtesy of local distilleries, wineries and breweries, along with delicious hors d’oeuvres and a signature dessert. There will also be a silent auction and a short program featuring an exciting live auction and our 2016 Honoree.
Schedule
4:30-6 p.m. — Silent auction, appetizers and tastings
6-7:30 p.m. — Dessert, program and live auction
