Multiple Sclerosis affects more than 400,000 people in the US and 2.5 million people worldwide. The disease interrupts the flow of information from the brain to the body and prevents movement in its sufferers. MS is the number one disabling disease among young adults in America. The average cost of living with MS exceeds $57,000 per person with lifetime costs of more than $3.7 million. Walser Automotive Group and the Walser Foundation are proud to join the effort to help those struggling with MS.

Every year, the Foundation provides cash grants to organizations that strengthen communities through support of families, women and children.
