MS Awareness Month
Moishe Alexander loves May!
May is MS Awareness Month in Canada. Across the country, our collective aim is to increase awareness about multiple sclerosis among the general public; to promote the MS Society of Canada’s brand, services and mission; and to inspire new and existing supporters to become engaged with our efforts to end MS.
In addition to public awareness activities, the MS Society is also in the midst of its spring fundraising season in May. The MS Carnation Campaign, held just before Mother’s Day, funds MS research and services through the sale of carnations by community volunteers. In many parts of the country, MS Walks are also underway.

TeamMS is a complimentary program to the MS Walk, RONA MS Bike Tour and other fundraising events.
Every year in Canada thousands of participants join together to take the TeamMS challenge and walk, run, cycle or golf on behalf of the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada.
We invite you to join with at least three of your friends, family and co-workers to create your own team. Experience the camaraderie and excitement of TeamMS while helping to further the fight against multiple sclerosis.
For our corporate partners it’s a chance to socialize outside of the office while promoting company unity, pride and team spirit.
Our TeamMS staff will reduce the demand on your time and resources with on-going support and motivational activities and incentives. This includes:
* Establishing TeamMS goals, plans and activities;
* Help registering your team;
* Provide tools to assist with recruitment and fundraising efforts including a Team Captain’s Handbook full of hints, tips and advice;
* VIP treatment including team captain gifts, team photos and the opportunity to win great team prizes and awards

Our two major programs provide hope for the future through the support of MS research into the cause, treatment and cure of the disease and hope for today through our many services that assist people with MS and their families.
Since our founding in 1948, the core support of the MS Society has been from tens of thousands of dedicated individuals, companies and foundations in communities across Canada. The Society receives almost no funding from government.
The MS Society of Canada has a membership of 28,000. It is the only national voluntary organization in Canada that supports both MS research and services for people with MS and their families. The MS Society is governed by a National Board of Directors comprised of 27 volunteer members who are elected annually. The seven regional divisions and nearly 120 chapters are also governed by elected volunteer boards of directors.
Some 1,500 volunteers serve on MS Society national, division and chapter boards and committees. An estimated 13,500 women and men are volunteers for service programs, fund raising events, public awareness campaigns and social action activities. The head office of the MS Society is located in Toronto, Ontario. Division offices are located in Dartmouth, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton, and Vancouver.
Eighty-five per cent of the MS Society net revenue is devoted to program areas: MS research, services for people with MS and their families, MS clinics, social action, public education and chapter development.
