Now celebrating its 15th 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 MDA Muscle Team’s success by lending your support! The season starts with a Kickoff Cocktail reception on November 15, 2011, at the Lighthouse at Chelsea Piers. It culminates on January 3, 2012, at the Muscle Team event that consists of pre-dinner cocktails, dinner, and a chance to mingle with athletes, celebrities and top business executives.
