A Benefit for the Clients of the MS Center of SWFL

The Multiple Sclerosis Center of Southwest Florida’s (MS Center) mission is to improve the quality of life for people affected by multiple sclerosis. The MS Center provides a comprehensive wellness program designed to help manage pain, improve mobility, and decrease isolation.

The MS Center is a local organization, not a national chapter, and is funded entirely by the generous contributions of individuals and businesses in our community. We hope you can join us for this fun event in support of the MS Center and the people we serve in Southwest Florida
