The Multiple Myeloma Research Foundation organizes 5Ks throughout the year and country to raise awareness and funds to help scientist learn more about this disease and how to cure it. Studio Displays had 22 staff participants in the walk, which took place on October 13 in Charlotte, North Carolina. Their contributions have helped the MMRF reach $3,195,065 so far in 2018. The foundation directs 90 percent of their total budget to research and related programming.
