The events that individuals and organizations host to raise awareness and money for MS are as unique as the people we serve. From happy hours to an annual Pong-A-Thon, these third party events bring diverse and exciting crowds together to make a difference in the MS movement.

Separate from the Chapter’s special events, third party events allow you to be creative with how you choose to make your mark against MS. Some have chosen to donate proceeds from product sales, while others have decided to grow a Mustache for MS. No matter what the event, your support and contribution makes a difference!
