Look up the term “servant leader” in the dictionary and you will find a photo of Lucia and Dr. Brent Laughlin. There is no task too small nor too large for them to tackle when they volunteer for a cause close to their hearts. Their involvement with the National MS Society started with Uncorking the Cure over a decade ago, an event they eventually chaired for two years. Brent took his devotion to new heights when he climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and planted an MS flag at its peak, while raising over $35k for a cure! Lucia and Brent donate their time and talent out of love for their sister-in-law, Nancy Hawkins. Brent joined the Society’s Oklahoma Leadership Council to help Oklahomans living with MS, and was invited to join the Regional Board of Trustees in 2021, providing creative input and strategic leadership from his unique perspective as a family physician and a person who loves someone living with MS.
Lucia and Brent will be recognized with the MS Hope Award on Friday, March 4 at the 20th Annual Uncorking the Cure for MS event. The MS Hope Award is the highest award presented by the National MS Society for community and humanitarian efforts. Recipients are those who strive to improve others' quality of life today and create a better world tomorrow. Events like Uncorking would not be possible without the incredible volunteers of the National MS Society. Volunteers are helping people living with MS live their best lives. This year’s Uncorking event will be chaired by Patti Barker and event attendees will enjoy an enchanting live auction, a live band featuring the STARS Band, and a delicious dinner provided by Lambrusco’z Catering.
