A major cultural force meets a cause that continues to drive real change.
Snoop Dogg takes the stage at the 33rd annual Race to Erase MS Gala on June 5 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles. The announcement adds global star power to one of the most impactful fundraising nights supporting multiple sclerosis research.
Founded by Nancy Davis in 1993, Race to Erase MS has raised more than $58 million and helped accelerate over 26 FDA-approved therapies. The gala fuels the Center Without Walls program, a collaboration between leading research institutions working toward treatment advances and long-term solutions.
Snoop Dogg brings a career that spans decades and disciplines. With more than 40 million records sold and 22 studio albums released, his influence reaches music, film, television, and philanthropy. His presence adds weight and visibility to a night already defined by its mission.
“Each year, the Race to Erase MS Gala unites a passionate community dedicated to finding a cure,” says Davis. “We’re thrilled to welcome Snoop Dogg, a true icon, whose exciting performance will bring incredible energy to an all inspiring evening.”
The event also honors Naomi Bulochnikov-Paul with the Medal of Hope, recognizing leadership and impact in the entertainment industry. Jesse Palmer hosts the evening, which includes a fashion show from L’AGENCE, a silent auction, and a full dinner program.
The Center Without Walls continues to drive collaboration across Cedars-Sinai, UCSF, Harvard, Yale, and other major institutions. That collective approach has already shaped research breakthroughs and continues to push the field forward.
Race to Erase MS stands as one of the most important nights in Los Angeles philanthropy. With Snoop Dogg on stage, the 2026 gala carries both cultural impact and a clear message, the work continues and the momentum is real.
