It was a picture-perfect evening on Nicollet Island in downtown Minneapolis as benefactors gathered for Taste of Generosity: Cocktails & Nosh, a culinary event to benefit the Upper Midwest chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

Guests mingled inside the Nicollet Island Pavilion and outside, along the banks of the Mississippi River.

In addition to research, the MS Society offers support groups and education to help patients and loved ones manage the disease.
