What about mailing lists?
Some donors prefer to limit the amount of fundraising material they receive throughout the year from the Society. Please let us know if you want to be removed from a mailing list, only receive appeals at certain times during the year, or make any changes to your mailing address by contacting us at 303-698-7400 or via e-mail at cocreceptionist@nmss.org.
How will the money from my donation be used?
Donations are used to fund comprehensive and vital programs and services for people living with MS and their families in Colorado and Wyoming. From care management to financial assistance, to educational, wellness and recreational programs, to advocacy and a national call center, your contributions make it all possible.
A portion of all donations is used for nationwide initiatives like research. Thanks to support from donors like you, the Society was able to invest more than $46 million in 440 research studies last year alone. Your continued support is key to paving the way to understanding the disease, developing better treatments, and finding a cure.
