The AZ Crush MS fundraiser for Multiple Sclerosis in 2025 was our inaugural event, and it was a smashing success. Over 125 caring people showed up to drink wine, have fun, and bid on some wonderful silent auction items that had been donated for the cause. There was a 50/50 raffle and a wine pull, and all 99 bottles of wine were purchased, some of which were valued at over $300. That was a deal since each ticket only cost $30. All of the proceeds from the 50/50 raffle and the wine pull were kept locally to help those families struggling under the additional financial burden that living with MS imposes.
None of this would have been possible without the following wineries donating cases of wine for this event. AZ Crush MS is extremely grateful to these vineyards for their donations, and we encourage our community to visit these wineries throughout the year.

The event took place at Chicken N Pickle in Glendale, Arizona - Glendale - Chicken N Pickle. This community-minded organization donated its entire upstairs party room for our fundraiser, and the space was the perfect place for a group of our size. If you like to play pickleball and have good things to eat and drink afterwards, please visit our friends at CNP.
