FUNDRAISING

Challenge Walk MS: Savannah 2015 is a fundraising event. Each Walker must raise a minimum of $1,500 by the fundraising deadline to be able to participate, but most will raise much more! In fact, last year's fundraising average was $2,150. Additionally, each Super Crew member must raise a minimum of $750 by the fundraising deadline to receive event perks. Many of our walkers and volunteers aim for our Top Fundraiser Club levels to receive lots of perks and prizes.

Top Fundraiser Club Levels:

$2500 Golden Laces

$5000 Elite Feet

$7000, Champions *(Tour of Champions eligible) 

Tour of Champions: In 2013 alone, this elite group of people in the Southeast Region raised over $4.2 million for the National MS Society. The Tour of Champions (TOC) is a three night getaway, provided at no cost, honoring participants who raise a minimum of $7,000 for Challenge Walk MS, Bike MS, Walk MS or Muck Fest. TOC 2015 will be held in San Antonio Texas, we hope to see you at one of the more highly anticipated celebrations for top fundraisers!
