New clubs & prizes
smiling walkersWe're excited to announce some big changes to the ways we plan to honor our top fundraisers, team captains and all those who fundraise early.

To start, we've created the Elite Feet Club for anyone who raises $500 to $999. Everyone who raises $500 by April 1 will receive a commemorative long-sleeved T-shirt at the event. Elite Feet members will also receive a speed pass for a massage the day of the event.

Attention Team Captains: Captains of all teams that raise $1,500 or more by April 1 will receive an exclusive team captain hat.

Finally, this year's VIP Club prize will be a Walk MS fleece vest for anyone who raises $1,000 or more.

These prizes and perks are in addition to the prizes we've given out in the past for various fundraising levels.

Remember, the more you raise, the better the prize you earn. So register now and start fundraising early.
