FUNDRAISING DEADLINE THIS SUNDAY, JULY 31

Research is a critical strategy for creating a world free of MS. The National MS Society mobilizes people and resources so that everyone affected by multiple sclerosis can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever. Last year alone, through our comprehensive nationwide network of services, the Society devoted $122.2 million to connect more than one million individuals to the people, information and resources they need. To move closer to a world free of MS, the Society also invested $54 million to support more than 380 new and ongoing research projects around the world. We are united in our collective power to do something about MS now and end this disease forever. Learn more at www.nationalMSsociety.org.

Only four days remain to increase our impact on MS through the 2016 BP MS 150. Let’s go for the GOLD and give it all we’ve got. Follow up with your donors, donate to yourself, send thank you notes and help us finish strong. In order to qualify for great fundraising prizes, including the Club 300, the cutoff date is Sunday, July 31. Anything received after July will not count towards prizes and awards.

Contact Accounts Receivables by Friday, July 28 for fundraising account questions at 713-394-2900.
