Featured Fundraisers

Moving forward through the power of music, Music 4 MS is an annual roots music festival in Gibsonia, PA with a goal to help end multiple sclerosis forever. This year’s event features Nashville’s November Blue and other local artists! Since the event's inception in 2014, over $250,000 has been raised for the National MS Society.
Bert's Family and Friends
Bert Heitman spent his 26th birthday in the hospital due to vision issues that made everything look like a Ferris wheel. A couple of weeks later, just before his second child was born, he was diagnosed with MS. In 2002, his family hosted the first Great Crappie Caper at Mark Twain Lake, a family-focused fishing tournament. On May 18-19, 2024, Bert's Family and Friends hosted its 21st Great Crappie Caper, raising $16,000 for the MS Society. While the event has evolved over the years, the intent has remained the same: bring friends and family together to raise money, fish, and have a great time together.
MS Charity Pickleball Tournament
The sixth annual MS Charity Pickleball Tournament presented by the Surprise Pickleball Association took place in March of 2024. Five years ago, Annie and Jim Kloss were celebrating their new marriage when Annie received an MS diagnosis. Avid pickleball players who held their wedding ceremony on a pickleball court, Jim and Annie took on this health challenge by applying their passion for the sport to help others affected by MS in Arizona. The 2024 event raised a record $24,162!
