Now celebrating its 16th year, MDA’s Muscle Team is a high-profile sports dinner where professional athletes join together to put their muscle behind the search to find treatments and cures for muscle diseases. Each athlete is paired with an MDA Buddy, a local child living with muscular dystrophy. YOU can ensure the MDA Muscle Team’s success by lending your support! The season culminates January 8, 2013, at the Muscle Team Gala that consists of a cocktail hour, dinner, and a chance to bid on unique auction items and to mingle with athletes, celebrities and top business executives from the New York metropolitan area.
