Donate your prize back to the MS Society and become a Mission First club member

Join the Mission First club when you make your fundraising dollars go even further by donating your prize back to the MS Society.

You will be joining a special group of people who put the mission of finding a cure for MS first. When you generously donate your prize back to the MS Society, you aid in reducing costs associated with purchasing participant rewards, which in turn allows us to dedicate additional funds towards the cause and provide vital programs and services to those affected by MS.

To become a member of the Mission First club, look for the check box on your pledge submission form or contact us at walk@mssociety.ca.

 As a Mission First club member you will receive a tax receipt for the value of your prize.

MS Carnation Campaign – May 10 to 12

Did you know? Women are more than three times as likely to develop MS as men.

Many Canadians living with MS are mothers, which is why every year the MS Carnation Campaign takes place over the Mother’s Day weekend. From Thursday, May 10 to Saturday, May 12, thousands will be showing their dedication by selling carnations on street corners, in malls and other public places. Be sure to celebrate Mother’s Day and MS Awareness Month by picking up a carnation for a loved one this weekend.

We are seeking friendly, outgoing and committed volunteers to sell flowers during our annual MS Carnation Campaign. If you’re interested in volunteering, please contact Mark.Teeple@mssociety.ca or 416-922-6600 ext. 3157.

Thank you for lacing up!

One Hundred and ninty-five people laced up for the Sault Ste Marie MS Walk yesterday and raised $17,865 for individuals living with multiple sclerosis. Thank you to everyone who laced up for someone they love this weekend! It was another great MS Walk! View FUNDRAISING RESULTS in your community.
 
For those of you who walked this weekend, don’t forget that there is still plenty of time to reach or surpass your fundraising goal! You can continue to fundraise, submit pledges online, and request any prizes for which you are eligible for the next 4 weeks.

We would also love to hear about your experience at the 2012 MS Walk! Share your MS Walk photos, stories and videos on our Facebook or Twitter page. We can’t wait to hear from you!

We look forward to seeing you again at the 2013 MS Walk!

And good luck to everyone participating in an MS Walk on May 27! We can’t wait for event day! For more information about the upcoming MS Walks, please visit mswalks.ca.
