Remington College Partners with National Multiple Sclerosis Society for Nationwide Volunteer Effort

LAKE MARY, Fla. - May 29, 2018 - PRLog -- Nonprofit Remington College will mark World MS Day on May 30 in a big way—by rolling out its partnership with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

World MS Day is meant to raise awareness for those affected by multiple sclerosis. Remington College will participate at its 15 campuses nationwide. The college will also put on a fundraiser, asking students, staff and instructors to donate $5 and wear orange, the color of MS awareness. There will be a door decorating contest and activities to share facts about the disease and how it affects people.

But Remington College's partnership isn't meant to be just for a day. The college will continue to support the National MS Society throughout the year. Remington College employees will participate in or volunteer at the National MS Society's annual Walk MS and Bike MS events in their local areas.

Remington College is further enhancing its commitment by paying employees for the time they spend volunteering for the Society.

As a nonprofit itself, giving back is at the heart of Remington College's mission. The organization already offers numerous community activities at each of its campuses, including blood drives, free haircuts for kids, free teeth cleanings and free makeovers for high school students headed to prom.

"Giving back is a priority at each of our campuses and through many of our programs, but we wanted to do more," said Heather McIver, Vice President Institutional Innovation. "Joining hands with the National MS Society allows us to unify Remington College students and employees across the country behind one extremely worthy cause. We're excited to see how this partnership ripples out and makes a difference."

Multiple sclerosis is a disease in which the body's immune system is directed against the central nervous system, damaging the myelin that surrounds nerve fibers. Symptoms include blurred vision, loss of balance, slurred speech, numbness, and more. There is no cure.

The National MS Society's mission is to stop MS in its tracks, restore what has been lost and end MS forever so those affected can live their best lives.
