CentraState Healthcare Foundation hosted their 24th Annual Multiple Sclerosis Benefit on Friday, September 19, 2025, at CentraState Medical Center on the Star and Barry Tobias Ambulatory Campus.

A variety of wines, craft beers, and spirits were poured by the distributors of Max’s Beer Wine and Liquor, along with delicious mocktails and cuisine provided by Metropolitan Cafe and Great Restaurants Catering, both of Freehold. Specialty wines were featured from Napa Valley, CA, and a live appeal was hosted by committee co-chairs Vito Cardinale, Carol Stillwell, Star Tobias, and Barry Tobias.

To help MS patients strengthen mind and body, the Linda E. Cardinale Multiple Sclerosis Center at CentraState Medical Center offers MS Wellness Programs, support groups, and educational seminars. Inspired by the impact of these programs, the Multiple Sclerosis Benefit Committee, comprised of MS patients, families, clinicians and volunteers, focused on funding the award-winning 12-Week Wellness Programs for MS patients.

Throughout the live appeal, co-chair Vito Cardinale reminded attendees of the impact of their donations, “My children lost their mother to Multiple Sclerosis, and if these wellness programs had existed for her, it would have improved the quality of her life. And we continue to search for a cure.”

The event raised over $215,000 in support of the Linda E. Cardinale Multiple Sclerosis Center at CentraState Medical Center.
