Each year, more than 2,000 volunteers and event participants help fuel our success. We make a difference in the lives of others because of them... and you! If you are looking for an opportunity to give back to your community and to use your skills, our Chapter has a role for you. Contact us for ideas of how your skills can best be used or call 1-800-344-4867, press 2 then 225.
Chapter Fundraising Events
- Walk MS is our largest fundraiser involving more than 9,000 people in eight communities and raising over $2 million. Be a walker, join the planning committee or come to the event and volunteer that day.
- Bike MS is a 150 mile, 2-day ride through Skagit County. Over 1,600 people ride and raise money for this million dollar event, and many more help by supporting the riders.
- Share your story and inspire others as to what it's like to live with MS by joining the Champions Against MS Program. Champions share their hopes, their struggles and their appreciation for those who raise money on their behalf.
- Be a table captain at the annual MS Luncheon by asking nine friends to join you at your table for this educational fundraising event.
Chapter Programs & Services
- Direct Assistance: Support a program that keeps people living with MS independent.
- MS Ambassadors: Become an MS Ambassador and spread the word about the MS Movement in your neighborhood, workplace and community.
- Self-Help Groups: People with MS often find solace in talking with people who can relate. So do family members and caregivers. For anyone who has been touched by MS, self-help groups may be wellsprings of friendship, information and support. Become a member or learn about starting your own group.
- Advocacy: "For me the bottom line is this: why should I expect anyone else to advocate on my behalf if I’m not willing to do it myself? We have to be the voice of MS. We have to join the movement." Become involved by joining the Action Alert Network or becoming an MS Activist.
Office Support
- Our office hours are 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Volunteers are needed on a weekly basis to help with mailings, assembling packets, updating computer files, making phone calls and many other administrative activities.
