Take the Next Step…Become a WAMS 2009 Table Captain
Multiple sclerosis affects more than just the person diagnosed – it affects family, co-workers and friends. These individuals come together to raise funds for vital local programs and services, and critical research in our search for a cause, new treatments and a cure for MS by acting as WAMS Table Captains. A Table Captain commits to supporting WAMS by filling a table of 10 (one captain and nine guests) at the event. A table can also be co-captained with a friend (each Table Captain has four guests). Table Captains are invited to a kick-off party six weeks before the event. There they learn more about the guest recruiting process, receive their recruitment materials, and meet other Table Captains, committee members, and chapter staff. Visit our Frequently Asked Questions for additional details.
