What is a Community Event?
A community event is put on by a group of people, a company or a community group to raise money to benefit the National MS Society. The event is conceived, planned, and executed by the third party. It can be ongoing or a one-time event. All or partial proceeds are donated to the National MS Society. Check out our lists current events to get ideas of what you can do!
What is a Community Partner?
A Community Partner is a company or individual that offers a product or service from which part or all of the proceeds benefit the MS Society. Products and services range from wine to comic books. Check out our list of partners.
Why host a community event?
Hosting a community event allows your group to express your desire to do something about MS in a personal and unique way. You control the type of event, who is invited and when and where it’s held. It is also a wonderful way to support the National MS Society by raising funds and having fun at the same time!
Where does the money go?
All money donated to the MS Society through Community Events or Partners stays with the chapter where the money is donated. The donations are used to fund local research, scholarships, client support and programs.
