This fall we launched the Golden Circle, a donor-focused program to bring volunteers and donors in closer connection to our mission to end MS. The Golden Circle is designed to honor individuals who share a similar commitment and loyalty to the MS Movement while also providing increased information to assist anyone with MS and those who care for them.
With the Golden Circle membership you can look forward to:
- Access to breaking research news.
- Access to Society Chapter Leadership.
- Invitations throughout the year to exclusive Golden Circle events.
- Subscriptions to both Momentum Magazine and MS Connection.
- Invitations to participate in National research calls and conferences.
- Recognition as a leader in the MS Movement.
We are delighted to invite you to become a charter member of the Golden Circle and hope you’ll consider a leadership donation to fund a world free of MS. Join the Golden Circle as a charter member today!
About the Golden Circle
The Golden Circle – committed to the Cause, Care and Cure of multiple sclerosis – is the elite annual gift campaign for the National MS Society recognizing annual gifts of $1,000 or more. This campaign will raise critical funds to:
- Accelerate the development of more effective MS treatments.
- Search for the cause and cure of the disease.
- Expand local programming for people with MS.
Golden Circle members lead by example, making a powerful statement and demonstrating their commitment to the:
-
Cause
Restricting your gift to the Chapter’s Greatest Need enables us to dedicate money where your local community needs it most. -
Care
Restricting your gift to Local Programs and Services helps to fund client programs that provide critical knowledge and improve the lives of those with MS to ensure independence and to optimize quality of life. -
Cure
Restricting your gift to Research supports dedicated researchers who are seeking the cause, treatment and cure for MS.
Since its founding, the Society has committed more than $750 million to find the cause, treatments, and cure for MS. We are currently funding more than $40 million in research projects around the world.
As a member of Golden Circle, you carry on a tradition from the Society’s founder, Sylvia Lawry, who raised $100,000 in 1946 from friends and family members in her community to try to find an answer to the puzzle of this unpredictable disease.
