Is there a registration fee? How much money do I have to raise?
There is no required registration fee or pledge minimum, but this is a fundraising event. We fully expect a pledge to the National MS Society to support programs and services for the 6,000 people living with MS in our area. If each participant raised at least $25, the cost of hosting Walk MS would be covered. For those who do chose to fundraise, there are a lot of fun incentives that can be viewed on our Prize Page.
How do I qualify for a T-shirt or other prizes?
You need to raise and turn in $100 to earn an official Walk MS t-shirt. There are other great prizes you can earn as you reach higher fundraising levels. Learn more here.
After Walk is over, where do I turn in my money?
Make sure to turn in a completed and signed donation form when submitting checks. Please record all donations, cash, check and online on the sheet. Please do not send cash in the mail. Send all check donations to:
National MS Society - Mid America Chapter
7611 State Line Rd; Ste100
Kansas City, MO 64114
How do I get receipts for my donors?
You can download these forms and make as many copies as you need.
How do I claim my prize after the Walk?
The prize deadline is May 27, 2011. Everyone who qualifies for a prize will be sent a postcard informing them of their qualification. The information to claim the prize will be sent electronically so make sure the MS Society has a current email address on file for you!
You also have the option to decline your prize and join our Mission First Club. By declining a prize, more of the money you raised stays at the MS Society to support the vital research and programs that are part of our mission - a world free of MS. If you would like to join the Mission First Club, email us at midamericachapter@nmss.org. You can join at any time! You don’t have to wait for the prize deadline.
