Make your mark against MS by hosting a community fundraising event! Community events are locally held, independent, fun-filled fundraising events that help give the Eastern North Carolina Chapter its character and charm because YOU make them what they are! Community events can be as simple as a bake sale or as complex as a golf tournament with a silent auction, but regardless of the format, they are designed to raise both awareness and money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. YOU are in charge of these events and they will succeed with your enthusiasm and energy.
To have your Community Event listed on this page, please follow these steps:
- Read the Community Events Guidelines.
- Print and complete the Community Event Information Form.
- Fax the completed form to 919-834-9822.
Once the information is received, we will send you a packet of resources that may be helpful while planning your event. If you have any questions, please contact Phoebe Coggins at 919-792-1005.
