2015

What is Walk MS? Walk MS, a signature element of the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter of the National MS Society, is a series of one day events with one common mission — to free the world of multiple sclerosis.

Walk MS is held in 7 communities throughout Colorado and engages more than 15,000 participants. Because of the valuable support of our sponsors, the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter is better able to provide vital resources to fund promising research as well as critical programs, financial aid, education and services for those living with MS. Our goal with your sponsorship is to increase your company exposure, engage and expand your stakeholders and make a real impact in the lives of those living with multiple sclerosis. We value our corporate community partners; together we will cure MS.

If you don’t find the perfect sponsorship opportunity listed in these pages, let us know and we will customize a specific package to meet your needs. We can customize a package that incorporate multiple events.
