Mission Statement
People affected by MS can live their best lives as we stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever. The National MS Society's vision: A World Free of MS.
Description
The National Multiple Sclerosis Society funds more MS research, offers more services to people with MS, provides more professional education programs and advances more MS advocacy efforts than any other MS organization in the world. Through its home office and fifty-state network of chapters, the National MS Society provides assistance to over a million people annually in its continuing mission to end the devastating effects of multiple sclerosis.
Seeking out and engaging volunteers to the MS cause is at the very core of our business. Each year the Society organizes a series of community events that provide many opportunities for the enthusiastic volunteer. In Greater Illinois we have many different opportunities throughout the year in which you can volunteer such as:
- Walk MS
- Bike MS
- Muckfest MS
- Half Court Classic
- Slugfest
- Women on the Move
- Soiree & Summer Social
- Peer Support Groups
- Office Volunteers & Internship Opportunities
- and many more....
