FUNDRAISER SPOTLIGHT

ILD Walk MS - Laura Machonis

LAURA MACHONIS

Do you or someone you know like to scrapbook? Join Laura Machonis and her team at the 8th annual Crop for a Cause: Making MS a Memory on March 15 in Roselle.

Laura started volunteering at Walk MS 15 years ago, and from there the possibilities to her success have been endless. She formed her own Walk MS Team and has taken on her own wrap around events. Her largest event is called Crop for a Cause, where individuals come for an evening of uninterrupted time to scrapbook. They also have food, a silent auction and a raffle to make the event even more exciting.   

In 2013, Crop for a Cause raised $17,115 to benefit the National MS Society. Join Laura and help to make 2014 even more successful! 

TEAM OF THE FUTURE

Do you know a young adult looking for a fun way to Join the Movement to end MS and get more involved in their community? Ask them to be a part of a brand new Chapter-wide super team made up of Walk MS Teams and Volunteers led by young adults ages 13 – 19.This is a great opportunity to help raise awareness and funds for people living with multiple sclerosis!

Get started with one of the options below:

  • Start a Walk MS Team with four or more of your friends to participate and fundraise.
  • Start a Volunteer Team with four or more of your friends. Volunteer your time the day of the Walk to help make it an event children and young adults will enjoy!
  • Join an existing Walk MS or Walk MS Volunteer Team of the Future.
