Volunteers Make the Thanksgiving Day MS Run Possible
From setting up the event to cheering at the Finish Line, Thanksgiving Day MS Run would not be possible without volunteers. When you volunteer, you help this event run smoothly, provide support and make a difference for the nearly 1 million people living with MS in the U.S.
Anyone Can Volunteer
There’s a place for you at Thanksgiving Day MS Run! Families, corporate groups and individuals of all ages and abilities are welcome to volunteer. We are always looking for youth clubs, corporate and service-oriented community groups to lend a hand before, during and after our events.
What’s Included
All volunteers get a special T-shirt. After you register, your local event staff will work with you to find a volunteer position that’s best for you!
Volunteer Role
Volunteers help with all aspects of the event, including:
- Set up and/or tear down
- Registration
- Running stops
- Cheering at the finish line
- Route support
Some volunteer positions require specialized skills, a criminal and/or DMV background check and driving or heavy lifting.
Fundraising as a Volunteer
Volunteers are some of our most powerful fundraisers and have access to the same great fundraising tools as Thanksgiving Day MS Run participants. Simply let us know that you’re interested in fundraising when you register, and we’ll get you set up with everything you need for success!
