Race to Erase MS founder Nancy Davis announced today that due to the novel coronavirus pandemic, this year's event will be a drive-in gala held Sept. 4 at the iconic venue in Pasadena. Renamed Drive-in to Erase MS, the program will feature performances by Andy Grammer, Eric Benét, and Siedah Garrett, the latter of whom navigates life with MS.
This year's gala will also feature a tribute to Nancy Davis's son, Jason Davis, who will be honored with a posthumous Medal of Hope for his lifetime contributions. The duo founded the nonprofit Cure Addiction Now before Jason“We are thrilled and excited to be hosting our reimagined Race to Erase MS gala as a drive-in concept, providing a safe and fun evening in your car.

However, some, like Charlize Theron's Africa Outreach Project, pivoted to a drive-in event as a way to give supporters and interested parties a way to gather while also supporting a cause.
