Donate Now
Help our cause by contributing to our fundraising efforts.
MS does not stop because of COVID-19. Neither will we.
Donate now to ensure we can meet the urgent and expanding needs of the MS community and our organization during this critical time. No act of generosity is too small to make a difference.
Since we cannot safely hold our annual luncheon this fall, we're excited to announce that we are putting all of our efforts into hosting a virtual On the Move Auction and Fundraising Campaign.
Participation is FREE! Donate today or join us September 11-18 by placing bids on our fabulous packages and donated items.
We kicked things off with a nationwide virtual program and high-end auction on Thursday, September 10th. If you missed it live, check out the recording now!
Let us entertain you with comedic guests, empowering stories and expert speakers as we share the many ways we keep moving forward to support people living with MS despite today's challenges. You'll learn about the ongoing needs of people affected by MS, and we'll celebrate your important role in helping to achieve our vision of a world free of MS. Come prepared to laugh, learn, be inspired and participate in a nationwide auction featuring one-of-a-kind items and experiences.
***If you have any trouble registering for either of these events, please reach out to Meghan at [email protected]. You must register for each event separately, creating a different username for each event. Registering for one event does not mean you are automatically registered for both.***

This year only, the CARES Act offers tax benefits on charitable giving for both individuals and corporations.
Individuals: There will be a special deduction for cash gifts up to $300 for those who aren't able to itemize on their tax returns.
Corporations: The annual limit on deductions has increased from 10% to 25% of taxable income. Any excess may still be carried over for up to five years.
Thank you to our 2020 Committee!

National Multiple Sclerosis Society - St. LouisSociety Update 7/16/2020:
The evolving COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the nonprofit sector in ways none of us have ever encountered. As you know, the National MS Society has canceled or postponed in-person events across the country. These are decisions we do not take lightly, as they mean that $60 million of vital funding is at risk.
With positive cases on the rise, so is the uncertainty of the in-person event landscape. We simply cannot risk putting our MS community in danger. After rescheduling once, we've now made the difficult decision not to hold On the Move Luncheon: St. Louis 2020 in person. Instead, we will put all our efforts into hosting an online On the Move Auction (Sept. 11-18) and direct all guests to a Nationally produced virtual program (Sept. 10) available to supporters around the country. Be on the lookout in the coming weeks for more information on how to stay involved.
MS won't stop due to a pandemic, so neither will we! Even with these changes, we're still aiming to meet our original fundraising goal of $100,000. YOU can help!
All ticket and table purchases made prior to today are now considered 100% tax-deductible donations, unless otherwise requested.
We know that our events do not raise these vital funds - the incredible people who are part of the MS movement do. People affected by MS are relying on leaders like you to fortify the MS movement during this time of crisis, ensure the health and well-being of all, and preserve their National MS Society.
For those of you supporting our Man and Woman of Courage, Brian Phillips and Susan Bruno will get the full spotlight they deserve as honorees at our 2021 event. We sincerely hope nothing gets in our way of holding an in-person event next year!
Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to change the world for people affected by MS. We still need you, now more than ever. It's only possible with you. Our world may look different right now, but our commitment to changing the lives of people affected by MS remains.
Thank you for leading the way!
