Women Against MS (WAMS!) Gala Luncheon

You are invited to the inaugural Ottawa WAMS Gala Luncheon!

The Ottawa chapter of the MS Society is pleased to partner with the WBN to offer an exclusive 20% ticket discount for their inaugural Women Against MS (WAMS) Gala Luncheon, which is taking place in Ottawa in just over one month! Local Ottawa businesswoman, Ellen Corkery-Dooher, a Partner with PwC, will be honoured at the sophisticated networking event on Friday, Feb. 28 for her amazing career achievements and community support. Diagnosed with MS a number of years ago, Ellen is also a cancer survivor and she challenges herself to live in the moment every day.

The luncheon will also feature a short update on incredible MS research breakthroughs at the University of Ottawa and there will be an inspirational keynote speech by award-winning entrepreneur and leadership expert Zahra Al-Harazi. Among Canada’s most successful entrepreneurs, few have faced more obstacles than Zahra. Named Woman Entrepreneur of the Year by Chatelaine and Canadian Ambassador to UNICEF, Zahra helps people and organizations realize their potential for success. She draws on her experience as a pioneering woman in the business world with a unique approach to attitude, leadership and success, as well as her experiences as a refugee, immigrant, entrepreneur and community-builder.

You'll get the chance to meet Zahra and hear about her brand new memoir, What It Takes, when you buy your ticket to attend WAMS. Tickets are limited with less than 40 left so get yours today! Learn more at www.wamsottawa.ca. All proceeds from WAMS will fund cutting-edge MS research in Ottawa and across Canada.
