Why Your Gift Matters

Free programs remove barriers to participation.

Living with MS can involve changing healthcare, transportation, mobility, employment, and household expenses.

Charging an additional program fee can prevent someone from participating in an experience that could improve their confidence, health, or sense of connection.

Donor support helps make it possible to offer programs without adding another financial barrier for participants.

Adaptive equipment
Program instructors
