MS Research Focus
Our fundraising events are critical in funding our efforts to find a cure for multiple sclerosis.
Australian researchers have found that higher levels of sun exposure and higher blood levels of vitamin D are both associated with a decreased risk of MS. Learn more. |

Dear ,
Fall is unofficially here, which brings us closer to the September 30 Leadership Class fundraising deadline. It's time to pack away those white pants and white shoes and send out your last fundraising email. This year's class has raised more than $80,000, but we need a final push to reach our goal.
Are there any networks you haven't reached out to yet? Look through our Know Your Networks Worksheet to see if there is anyone you missed. Also, follow up with people who have said they will make a donation, but haven't yet done so. Include the fundraising deadline in your communication to really light a fire. Also, be sure to send out one final email roughly ten days before the deadline for those who always wait until the absolute last minute.
If you are holding on to checks that you'e collected, please mail them along with the check tracking form to National MS Society, Attn: Leadership Class, 30 S. 17th Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
Please feel free to contact us any time by email or by calling 215-271-1500. We appreciate your efforts and look forward to celebrating your success in October. Sincerely, Kristina McGraw |
