Fundraising
Events
We have a few Annual Fund Raising Events that you may or may not
be aware of, which are listed below. In addition to the fund
raising events listed below, we have a number of Third Party
Fund Raising Events throughout the year. This is where individuals
and companies from our community have their won fund raising
event to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada
(Windsor-Essex Chapter). These funds help us to operate and
provide the programs to our membership but more importantly,
it helps us to have the funds to assist with the purchase of
special mobility equipment needed by the individual affected
with MS as well as for funds to go for RESEARCH, to irraticate
this disease.
It
is our mission to be a leader
in finding a cure for multiple sclerosis and
enabling people affected by MS to enhance their quality of life.
"ANNUAL

by our community. This year's Walk for MS is on APRIL 22, 2012! Register to have a TEAM PHOTO taken which will be given to each Team Captain to make copies for those who want one for a keepsake!

"CARNATION
CAMPAIGN" - The Carnation has been the flower of choice
to represent the hope for and research to find a cure for
Multiple Sclerosis! The Carnation Campaign has been held
in conjunction with "Mother's Day".
What better way to give Mom a bouquet of flowers and at
the same time help to find a "Cure for MS"? Our campaign
is getting larger by the year and will hopefully, with the
support from the community, have street sales across Essex
County on the Saturday prior to Mother's Day!
