How can you DIY? There's many ways, and we've even created a theme for each season!
The events that individuals and organizations create to raise awareness and funds for MS are as unique as the people we serve. From Poker Runs to Golf Tournaments, these community events bring diverse crowds together in support of the MS movement.
Separate from the Chapter’s special events, community events allow you to be creative with how you choose to make your mark against MS. Some have chosen to donate proceeds from product sales, while others have decided to belly dance for MS.
No matter what the event, your support and contribution make a difference!

2. Let us know your plans by filling out this form. (This is required.)

4. Publicize your event! Email or mail letters to your friends, family members and colleagues. Reach out to everyone you know. Post signs on community bulletin boards and messages on Facebook and Twitter. If you’re hosting the event at a business, ask how they can help promote your event.
5. Have fun! Enjoy the day of your event and be sure to let everyone know how much their support means for people living with MS. Be sure to take lots of pictures and share them with us.
