The Right Notes Returns for 2026, Aims to Build on $1 Million Milestone in Fight Against MS
The Right Notes, South Jersey’s leading fundraiser to combat multiple sclerosis, marks its 12th edition on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at Greate Bay Country Club. This year’s event features wine, craft beer, spirits, live music, and auctions, all hosted by The Donovan Financial Group of UBS Financial Services.
The milestone event comes on the heels of a record-breaking year, with The Right Notes recently surpassing $1 million raised since its founding in 2012. A threshold that reflects more than a decade of steadily growing community support for the local MS community.
A Personal Mission
Michael Bray, owner of Passion Vines and the driving force behind The Right Notes, feels this cause very personally. His mother, Jayne Bray, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 1990, and since then, his mission has been to find a cure, both personally and professionally. After Jayne passed away in 2022, Bray has expressed being touched by the support from the South Jersey and MS communities, including many stories of gratitude highlighting Jayne’s significance and how The Right Notes has affected those with the disease.
Starting in 2012 as a wine-tasting fundraiser, it has evolved into one of South Jersey’s premier philanthropic events, featuring high-quality wines, craft beers and spirits, dishes from local restaurants, live music, and an energetic auction, all supporting the National MS Society and local families impacted by MS.
