MDA Unveils Revitalized Brand at Carnegie Hall

On January 29, 2016, MDA launched its revitalized brand at Carnegie Hall, a stage that has given voice and visibility to so many families affected by muscle-debilitating diseases over the years. The event brought together families, sponsors, media and friends for the cause. Check out the highlights here, including a special message from long-time telethon host and MDA ambassador, Jerry Lewis, a powerful performance by “The Voice” winner Jordan Smith and inspiring stories of families challenging the limits of these diseases.
