Dear Jessica,
Last year, the Pacific South Coast Chapter launched the Golden Circle Giving Club asking donors to join with a gift of $1,000 or more. In its inaugural year, 116 donors answered the call for assistance, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to support people living with multiple sclerosis.
Did you know that this level of support underwrites the chapter’s entire financial assistance program, which helped over 500 people last year? The chapter provides a wide array of programs and services for individuals with MS and their families to enhance their lives and create avenues toward greater independence.
Our chapter can help individuals with obtaining services in financial assistance, transportation, equipment and more. Please consider a donation to Golden Circle, which may be restricted to directly support these important financial programs.
Best regards,
Karen Barton
Vice President, Leadership Giving & Events
