The Fifth Annual
Flavors of the Gaslamp
Flavors of the Gaslamp Sponsorship
We are proud to announce the Fifth Annual Flavors of the Gaslamp hosted by football veterans Lorenzo Neal, Eric Allen and Tyler Campbell. The event is slated for Saturday June 16, 2012 at The Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier in San Diego, CA from 6 to 10 p.m. Flavors of the Gaslamp will highlight The National Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society in partnership with the Pro Player Foundation. The fifth annual event will feature food from the finest restaurants in San Diego’s Gaslamp Quarter, current and former professional athletes, live entertainment and a fantastic live and silent auction.

A member of the NFL’s All-Decade Team for the 2000’s and a four-time Pro Bowl selection, Lorenzo Neal was the preeminent fullback in the National Football league for more than 14 seasons. Six-time NFL Pro Bowl Cornerback, and ESPN NFL analyst, Eric Allen was regarded as one of footballs best players during his 14 year career. Former San Diego State football team captain, Tyler Campbell has gone from playing division one college football with MS, to actively becoming an ambassador for The National MS Society.
Opened in late 2010, The Port Pavilion on Broadway Pier is a welcome center for the many cruise passengers sailing into San Diego. While those who enter America’s Finest city are welcomed into a beautiful harbor and vibrant downtown area, locals and visitors can use the facility as a special events center. The modern, two-story event center is the Port of San Diego's first "green" building and has incorporated environmental features that reduce a building's energy and water consumption.
Join our team to make a positive impact for those who have been diagnosed with MS!

The Campbell Project for MS unveils
"The Unstoppable Earl Campbell"
Pro Football Hall of Fame member and 1977 Heisman Trophy award winner Earl Campbell, unveils The Unstoppable Earl Campbell tribute limited edition art from Warner Bros. This exceptional piece, features “The Tyler Rose” from his days as a University of Texas Longhorn, alongside famous Warner Bros. Looney Tunes characters. Through the Pro Player Foundation, Earl has partnered with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and proceeds from the piece will benefit the society, in honor of his son Tyler, who was diagnosed with MS in 2007. The Unstoppable Earl Campbell can be purchased here.

“We are honored to partner with the Pro Player Foundation and the Campbell family to help create a world free of MS,” said Mark Neagli, Regional Executive Vice President, National MS Society. “Through this alliance, we hope to further broaden awareness of a disease which affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S and more than 2.1 million worldwide. Earl and Tyler have demonstrated unwavering support to the cause, and it's a privilege to work with them for this one-of-a-kind fundraising opportunity.”
Earl, who was arguably the most revered and feared running back of his time, is featured in these numbered limited editions, and they are available for purchase as both a fine art lithograph and a hand-painted cel. He is a part of American animation art history, joining an elite group of sports legends including Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali, Wayne Gretzky, Derek Jeter, Tim Wakefield and Drew Brees, who have all been featured in a Warner Bros. sports limited edition. Each piece of art, is hand-signed by Earl and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Information about the story behind the art can be found here.

Since his diagnosis, Tyler Campbell has become an active ambassador for the National MS Society and is passionate about raising awareness to help others living with the disease. “I view my MS diagnosis as a blessing. I now have the opportunity to share my experience to help others living with this disease and make an impact on the MS community.”
Multiple sclerosis, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system, interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with at least two to three times more women than men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the U.S. and over 2.1 million worldwide.
MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't. The Society addresses the challenges of each person affected by MS by funding cutting-edge research, driving change through advocacy, facilitating professional education, collaborating with MS organizations around the world, and providing programs and services designed to help people with MS and their families move their lives forward.
