Wear your jersey to work & spread the word about MS!
We’re a week away from the MS Bike’s “wear your jersey to
work day” – Friday, May 24! Take advantage of casual Friday at your office to
raise awareness about multiple sclerosis and your participation in MS Bike. When
your coworkers ask about it, tell them about the event and why you’re
participating. It’s a great opportunity to earn some pledges or recruit new
members for your team.

Fundraising made easy with social media tools!

would succeed. - Howard L. Jones

most important parts of fundraising is getting the word out and reaching as
many people as possible. Unfortunately this is can also be one of the hardest
parts of fundraising. However, with the help of social media, fundraising can
be a breeze!

everyone know you’re raising money for MS Bike then by sending out a message
through Facebook, Twitter or your personal blog. At msbike.ca, we’ve got some great tools that can help add a little pizzazz to your
online fundraising efforts, such as logos, badges, videos, banners and more!
