Walk MS is the National Multiple Sclerosis Society’s largest annual fundraising event. Each year thousands of people attend one of the Northern California Chapter’s 11 Walk MS events and walk in honor of someone living with MS. Money raised directly supports the 100,000 individuals living in Northern California directly affected by MS.
Corporate partners play a vital role in reaching our mission: to create a world free of MS. By providing cash, in-kind products, media and volunteer resources, sponsors allow us to keep our event costs low so that more funds can go directly toward our mission by funding important MS related research, programs and services.
Corporate Partnerships are available on a regional or individual Walk site basis.
Become a Corporate Partner
Our corporate partners come from diverse industries, yet share our vision of making a difference in the lives of people affected by MS. Collaboration with the National MS Society is a unique opportunity to not only build goodwill for your company, but to help build your business as well.

Form a Corporate Team
Along with sponsorships, we encourage you to form a Walk MS team at one or all of our Walk MS locations. Teams can have 4 to 400 participants and can be a fun and beneficial activity for your employees and your company. It builds camaraderie, promotes health and wellness within your organization and enhances corporate pride and employee retention.
Anyone in the company can start a team, and it’s a great opportunity to demonstrate leadership skills. Employees are responsible for doing their own fundraising and the company can assist their efforts simply by supporting their team recruitment efforts, underwriting team t-shirts, or providing matching fund.
