The event was held at The Sazerac House on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and paid tribute to the generous corporations, organizations and volunteer leaders dedicated to making a difference in the lives of the nearly 1,000,000 people living with MS in the U.S. The evening featured small bites prepared by local chefs, tastings from local breweries, distilleries, and wineries, and live music.
MBLB attorney Jakob Jackson was among the inspiring speakers who shared his story about the way in which his friends, family, and coworkers have supported him following his diagnosis with MS. He was joined by his colleagues Aaron Broussard, Brooke Rance, and Jordan Shapiro.
MBLB officially adopted Walk MS as one of the firm’s philanthropic charities in March 2026, and was a Bronze Sponsor of Walk MS: New Orleans 2026 in honor of Jakob.
