Why do we support Weill Cornell Mind Brain Research?

Because they are among the best in the world! From the start, the Mind Brain Foundation has passionately supported the Judith Jaffe Multiple Sclerosis Clinical Care and Research Center, whose groundbreaking research offers the most comprehensive insights into the origins of MS and the greatest potential relief for those living with the disease.

 

Success Cases show donors that their money is being put to good use, is spent wisely and is making a real impact in moving cutting MS research forward.

$100M

Fund raised

In 2022, the Mind Brain Foundation held its first fundraising event—a cocktail hour at a supporter’s Park Avenue apartment in New York City. Lead researchers from Weill Cornell Medicine’s Judith Jaffe MS Research Center presented their work exploring FDA-approved compounds to see if they could repair myelin damaged by MS. The event raised $25,000, which helped the Jaffe Research Center secure a major NIH grant to continue this promising research.
 
Today, the Foundation continues to fuel groundbreaking research through creative campaigns like the MS Standup Initiative. These efforts engage the community in unique and inspiring ways, raising both awareness and funds to support innovative studies, accelerate treatments, and bring hope to people living with MS.
