ATLANTA, Ga. — MELT COO Michelle Grech was named Corporate Co-Chair of the Arthritis Foundation’s 33rd annual Crystal Ball to be held October 18th at The Ritz-Carlton Buckhead.

The theme of this year’s ball is “Fly Me to the Moon,” which is a themed salute to the one in four Georgians who are impacted by this debilitating disease.

Ms. Grech, who suffers from rheumatoid arthritis herself, volunteered her involvement to both raise awareness and raise funds for such a worthy cause.

MELT CEO Vince Thompson, also Corporate Co-Chair, said his business partner and COO is a daily inspiration to him.

“Michelle is truly inspirational to all of those around her who recognize the personal battle she fights each day with rheumatoid arthritis.  I’m proud of her for her contributions to stop this disease.”
