Hosting a Special Event Fundraiser
Many caring friends of the MSF have gotten involved by hosting special event fundraisers. Benefits of these events are substantial not only to the MSF but to the organizers, too. Participants develop camaraderie and make new friends! Find spirit and satisfaction having fun and helping such an important cause!

How do I host a special event?
Planning a special event does not have to be complicated. The hosts should have as much fun as the guests! Special event fundraisers can be held in a variety of settings: at places of business, schools, homes, clubs, churches, and other locations.

There is no right or wrong way to design a fundraising activity. The goals are always the same — to raise money for and increase awareness of the Multiple Sclerosis Foundation. The MSF will work with you to create the perfect fundraiser. Start by answering some simple questions:

What type of event do you want to have?
When will you host it and where?
Who will you invite to attend?
What is your budget?
Who is going help you? Friends, family, volunteers?
Develop a timetable and give us a call!
