Programs and activities for Multiple Sclerosis Awareness

SWIM 2009 FOR MS


Volunteers can come out and participate in this fundraising activity. The funds that volunteers will raise will help to enrich the lives of those affected with Multiple Sclerosis. This activity is held not only to raise money but also to encourage those who have MS to participate in swimming. Swimming helps to stretch muscles and encourage a larger range of movement for those with MS. To learn more visit Multiple Sclerosis Association of America


Bike MS
100 rides. One destination. A world free of MS. This activity is held in 100 locations throughout the U.S. The funds earned from this activity will be used towards Multiple Sclerosis research. If you visit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society you can see a video about Bike MS.

Walk MS

Six hundred walks. One destination. A world free of MS. You'll move. You'll be moved. Join Walk MS in your community. Joining the movement with hundreds of thousands of people across the country is an experience like no other. We walk together to make a powerful statement, and to keep moving toward a cure.


Other Programs and Activities

Dinner of Champions
The MS Dinner of Champions is the premier gala event of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society honoring many of America’s most prestigious corporate leaders and corporations. Howard Cosell and Frank Gifford founded the MS Dinner of Champions in 1972 and today this fundraiser is one of the country’s most celebrated and popular testimonial events held in select cities throughout the country

Women on the Move Luncheon

The MS Women on the Move Luncheon is an education and fundraising luncheon that creates an inspiring, motivational and empowering environment. The event creates a social environment for likeminded people to gather, learn about multiple sclerosis, and raise funds to help end MS.

National Conference for MS

To move forward, we must come together. That's what the National MS Society's National Conference is all about. Each autumn, the MS community — health professionals, fundraisers, volunteers, and most importantly, people living with MS — gather to enjoy each other's company and inspire each other to take ever-greater strides toward a world free of MS.

MS Awareness Week

This week is held to really advocate awareness of MS. During this week you can participate in a walk, bike riding, advocacy, volunteer, and donate.
