The awards process identifies individuals and corporations that distinguish themselves as visionaries in the quest for equal access and opportunity for all people regardless of ability. Since its inception in 2001, the da Vinci Awards has become a prestigious international symbol of recognition.

Proceeds from the da Vinci Awards benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Michigan Chapter, Inc. Michigan has more than 16,000 people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and the Society knows first-hand the difficulties people experience when faced with physical disabilities.


MS stops people from moving. The National MS Society exists to make sure it doesn't.
