Bike MS Fundraising Weeks are proudly sponsored by Point B, an organization that shares our commitment to creating a world free of MS. Elevate your fundraising and win some prizes along the way.

The rules are simple: raise the most money during a Fundraising Week and we will reward you for your fundraising success.

Fundraising Week #1:

• September 1 - 7

Fundraising Week #2:

• September 29 – October 5

There will be three categories of winners based on the dollar amount of ONLINE fundraising during the week:

• Team with 2 – 8 members
• Team with 9+ members

• Individual rider (not on a team)

Please note:

Your Bike MS packet contains important items including your rider bib and event details. In order to pick up your packet, you must meet the $250 fundraising minimum and have a completed waiver on file. If you registered online, you have already completed a waiver during the registration process. Please note: Riders under 18 will need a waiver signed by a parent or guardian.

Bike MS Waiver

Team captains may pick up for their entire team. Family members can also pick up packets for each other. Anyone else wanting another individual to pick up their packet should let Bike MS staff know in advance.
