9/6/2007 Stephen L. Betts Clay Walker recently enlisted some of country music's biggest names to help battle against Multiple Sclerosis. Clay's non-profit charity, Band Against MS has partnered with the Washington D.C. metropolitan area Chapter of the National MS Society by offering an autographed guitar for auction at the Society's Annual Ambassadors Ball on Sept. 19 in the nation's capital.  The Taylor model 210-E guitar bedecked with the authentic signatures of Clay, Alan Jackson, Kix Brooks, Ronnie Dunn and George Strait is one of several items included in the auction. Proceeds from the sale of the instrument will be divided between the National Capital Chapter of the National MS Society and Band Against MS. Traditionally under the Honorary Patronage of the President and First Lady, the Ambassadors Ball is one of the first events on Washington's full social calendar. While raising vital funds for Multiple Sclerosis, the black tie gala hosts members of the Washington Diplomatic Corps, Congressional leaders, and a variety of local and national celebrities. Now in its 29th year, the Ambassadors Ball has raised over $11 million toward a world free of MS.  Since his recording debut in 1993, Clay Walker has scored 11 No. 1 country hits and sold more than 10 million albums. Earlier this year, he released his eighth studio album, Fall. Clay was diagnosed with MS in 1996. For more information about Band Against MS visit www.bandagainstms.org
