FUND
RAISING
MS Walk is the MS Society of Canada's largest fundraising event. It is fun and
family oriented and takes place in 20 BC communities. More than 1,000
volunteers play a critical role in it's success. Whether part of the
planning committee or helping out on event day - we need you! Call the
site nearest you and offer your time - you can even collect pledges too!
RONA MS
Bike Tour
is the MS Society of Canada's fastest growing event - with 4 tours
taking place right here in BC. As is the case with our WALK event - we
require a large contingent of volunteers to help make it the success it
is!
MS Carnation
Campaign is the MS Society's oldest fundraising event held on Mothers day.
Come help us sell hundreds of bouquets and single carnations to raise money for
multiple sclerosis. Call the chapter nearest you to find out how you can help.
MS 100 Hole Challenge is a day long event that happens each September in Coquitlam. If golf is your game we also
have third party golf events that would appreciate a volunteer or two.
So if you like golf or just like the outdoors we've got a position just
for you!
Bingo - The
MS Society is looking for volunteers to help at our bingo, located
at the Planet Bingo Hall, 2655 Main St. in Vancouver. Volunteers are
needed to work shifts on Mondays from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm.
Gift Wrapping - Metrotown Mall in Burnaby generously offers the MS Society a booth at
their mall in December. They even supply the wrap - and we supply the
volunteers. Come enjoy the season of giving - and give the gift of time.
