16th Annual RBC Golf Tournament to end MS

On Friday June 7, the MS Society of Canada and RBC Procurement celebrated 16 years together at the annual RBC Golf Tournament to end MS. Graciously hosted at Angus Glen Golf Course and Mandarin Golf and Country Club in Markham, the tournament was a fun filled day with great networking opportunities and a challenging game on the greens.

This year’s tournament raised an astounding $500,000 for peadiatric MS research, which brings the 16 year total to more than $6.3 million!

Participants and sponsors play a critical role in advancing the MS Society of Canada's fight to end MS. Without your support, this milestone would not have been possible.

Happy National Volunteer Week!

April 22-26 is National Volunteer Week, and we’d like to take a moment to thank all the volunteers who make the MS Society’s fundraising events possible. To celebrate National Volunteer Week we’ll be recognizing outstanding volunteers all week. For inspirational stories about our volunteers and a special thank you video, head over to the new MS Community Blog!

Every year, countless volunteers show their support of the MS Society – Ontario Division and in turn the thousands of Ontarians affected by MS. On behalf of the MS Bike team, thank you for all your hard work!

Happy International Women’s Day!

Today is International Women’s Day and it seems like a great time to thank the many women who have played a crucial role in MS Bike and all of the MS Society of Canada’s work.

Multiple sclerosis affects three times as many women as men, but Canadian women have risen to the challenge. Every year, countless Canadian women volunteer and fundraise for MS Bike or the Mandarin MS Walk. The money they have raised has made it possible for the MS Society of Canada to fund research initiatives and support programs that have transformed the lives of Canadians living with MS.

Whether as volunteers or fundraisers, Canadian women have demonstrated their determination and commitment to ending MS. On behalf of everybody at MS Bike we’d like to express our gratitude and wish everyone a happy International Women’s Day!
