What is a Community Event?
A community event is any fundraising activity by a group or individual (Third Party) that raises funds to benefit the National MS Society. The event is conceived, planned and executed by the third party. It can be an ongoing or one-time event, with all or partial proceeds donated to the National MS Society. Hosting a community event is a wonderful way to support the National MS Society, on your terms - you decide what type of event, who to invite, when and where it’s held.
If you are interested in a Community Event, please contact Wendy Kuessel Allison, Volunteer Coordinator, at wendy.allison@nmss.org or 503-445-8356. You can also learn more about putting on an event by downloading these guidelines and information form.
