PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
Get in the Spirit of the Season at the End of the Year! Donate a Car to the National MS Society’s RI Chapter & Enjoy the Tax Benefits
WARWICK, R.I., DEC. 4, 2008 – With the end of the year approaching, there is no better way to get into the holiday spirit than by donating your old or unwanted car to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s Rhode Island Chapter. Enjoy the double benefit of maximizing your tax deductions and feeling good about giving to a worthy cause.
Simply call the Rhode Island Chapter at 401.738.8383, press option 2. Just one quick phone call and we will arrange for your car to be towed. You will get your car donation receipt at the time of pick up. What could be easier? Donating your car is quicker and more convenient than selling it on your own and much more rewarding than trading it in.
The National MS Society’s Rhode Island Chapter contracts with America’s Official Car Donation Center, the largest and most trusted choice for car donations for non-profit charities.
Your donation will help people living with MS. The MS Society funds more MS research, provides more services to people with MS, offers more professional education and furthers more advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world.
About Multiple Sclerosis
MS interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and stops people from moving. Every hour in the United States, someone is newly diagnosed with MS, an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central nervous system. Symptoms range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis. The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Most people with MS are diagnosed between the ages of 20 and 50, with more than twice as many women as men being diagnosed with the disease. MS affects more than 400,000 people in the United States and 2.5 million worldwide.
