The Power of Volunteering
As a nonprofit organization, Can Do MS relies heavily on the support and enthusiasm of committed volunteers to help us organize our diverse fundraising events and promote our lifestyle empowerment programs. Events like the Can Do MS Vertical Express for MS, the Jimmie Heuga Memorial Golf Tournament in Cordillera, CO and the Annual Autumn Benefit in New York City all rely on the efforts of our volunteers. Since it was founded in 1984, Can Do MS has had strong support from the skiing community.
In 1985 ten volunteers skied a 24-hour marathon in Alyeska, Alaska, setting a world record and raising $250,000. Since then volunteers have been the backbone of the Vertical Express for MS event series, now in its 25th successful year.
