Thank you to everyone who came out to support the National MS Society – Indiana State Chapter on August 27th! Despite the morning rain, attendance was high and the energy was even higher at Music Fest for MS presented by Zink Distributing Company. From conga lines to dancing to fun music to enjoying Market District tacos, a fun time was had by all. Through everyone’s support and generosity, over $6,000 was raised to support the fight against MS.
Thank you to all of the community partners and musical performers who supported the concert and made this concert a success.
3rd Generation Band (3G) is supporting the fight against MS as one of the artist for MusicFest for MS 2016!
3rd Generation Band (3G) is a south side Indy band. They love to play great music and have fun! The band will play the classics, but also focus on new songs and a funk dancing horn section. They play Marvin Gaye, Jimmy Buffet, Pitbull, Jason Mraz, Rolling Stones, Earth, Wind & Fire just to name a few. You will enjoy their music and energy when you hear them perform!
Listen to one of the headliners, Tola Lewis, at last year’s Music Fest for MS. The crowd loved Tola Lewis and we are glad to have her back supporting the fight against MS!
Tola Lewis is a Michigan-based artist renowned for her distinctively smooth blend of musical stylings: classic, contemporary, popular and jazz; always exquisite. A multi-talented musician, Tola performs using a saxophone and wind synthesizer. Her illuminating style will draw you into the rich texture of the music, whether interpreting a timeless standard Cole Porter, laying down a Motown groove, or sharing her personal vision through one of her own distinctive original tunes.
The fight against MS is personal for Tola. Her daughter has MS and it is a personal cause for their family.

MiSsion Possible Team Member and Director of Operations, Ted Hoffman
For Ted Hoffman, wearing orange became personal when he started working at Crown Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery. Everyone thinks something like MS will always happen to someone else’s family not theirs. Here at CH, we have an employee impacted by MS, so it makes it a reality when it happens to “one of your family members”.
Ted supports Crown Hill’s initiatives with The National MS Society, Indiana State Chapter because he believes making a difference in someone’s life is a responsibility. The quest for answers and participation is part of the journey and goal in curing MS. Crown Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery has been involved with community events, such as the annual Beyond the Badge Run/Walk. “This endeavor to support a cure for MS adds a philanthropic involvement for myself and the staff. Being from a large family, I realized early in life it takes all to get a job done.”
Ted Hoffman is the Director of Operations at Crown Hill Funeral Home and Cemetery.
Mark your calendars! MusicFest 2016 will be hosted at Crown Hill Cemetery on Saturday, August 27th. All proceeds support the National Multiple Sclerosis Society – Indiana State Chapter. Plan to join us for great music and fun times while supporting a worthy cause. More details to come!
