Please consider walking with our team on Sunday April 12th in DC - and be part of our TOP Fundraising Team.  Walk with US - and help us fundraise this year more than ever!  So much great research is being done in attempts to find ways to reverse the effects of MS - and we need everyone to help us be a part of history as we move to #CUREMS.

MS TOTEBOARD

Our goal is to donate $10,000 or more every year to support the research and help find a cure for MS. Our team has been actively fundraising for the National MS Society since 2002.

Thank you to everyone who supported us in 2025 and helped us stay in the TOP 3 fundraising teams at our new and bigger MS Walk site, MS Walk DC. With your help, we were able to meet our goal of raising OVER $10,000 for the National MS Society last year.  Since 2002, we have now donated over $170,000 to the National MS Society.

What better way to KICK OFF the summer then joining us for the 14th Annual MS Ice-Cream-A-Thon. This one is for the kids - have them raise money from neighbors, grand-parents, etc. and they get rewarded with a chance to see if they can complete the Ice-Cream-A-Thon! We are trying three NEW shops this year - at our new location! Help us spread the word - and then let's see who can finish the Ice-Cream-A-Thon!

DONATE

Support our 2026 Fundraising Efforts

We need your help!  Medical advances are occurring faster and faster. The only thing holding us back is funding for more research. Our goal, our mission, is to donate over $10,000 every year to support research aimed at ending the scourge of Multiple Sclerosis.  Typically, we raise money at our annual events (above), but if you can't support us in person or just want to get us closer to our goal, please help us with a donation by clicking on the DONATE button below.  (This will take you directly to our MS Walk donation website where you can easily donate on line).

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPALS

In our quest to banish MS

RAISE AWARENESS

Spread the Word  - Develop a Local Support Network

Sadly, MS impacts so many people in this country (1 Million people), and we all seem to know someone suffering from this debilitating and hard to comprehend disease. Having lived with MS for over 20 years, we are here to educate people about the disease and provide support to newly diagnosed friends.

RAISE MONEY FOR THE NATIONAL MS SOCIETY

We Donate 100% of the Proceeds to the National MS Society.

The NMSS is the largest worldwide supporter of research aimed at eradicating Multiple Sclerosis. Our goal is to donate more than $10,000 a year to help in the efforts to find a cure for this horrible disease.

RAISE OUR SPIRITS

Let's Have Some Fun Too!

Our events are designed to be fun and rewarding for our donors, volunteers, and guests. We want everyone to have a blast while contributing to our fundraising efforts. We've never been good at asking for money, so we want to exchange an experience for your help with our fight against MS.

QUESTIONS? COMMENTS?
WANT TO HELP?

We are always looking for people who want to help us run and organize our events. Similarly we are always ready to help others in the MS community with hosting their own fundraisers.  Please feel free to reach out to us and let us know how we can help.

Thanks for submitting!
