Fundraising

Fundraising is one of the most important elements of Bike MS. Remember, each cyclist is required to raise the fundraising minimum for each ride. The majority of cyclists go above and beyond the fundraising minimum. All donations to the National MS Society are tax-deductible.

Minimum donation requirements for Bike MS events

  • Sam's Club Twin Cities Ride (Minnesota): $50
  • C.H. Robinson Cruise the Cornfields (Iowa): $100
  • Sanford Health Pedal the Plains (South Dakota): $100
  • Sanford Health Ride the Wind (North Dakota): $100
  • C.H. Robinson MS 150 Ride (Minnesota): $300
  • TRAM Ride (Minnesota): $300

Fundraising is as easy as 1, 2, 3 ... Follow these simple steps:

Step #1: Know your networks

Make a list of every person you know — the obvious (friends and family) and the not-so obvious (neighbors, acquaintances, business associates, team members, alumni associates, etc.). You just created your donor list! Need extra help? Use the Know Your Networks worksheet (pdf) included in your fundraising kit.

Step #2: Set your fundraising goal

Now that you know your networks, set your goal. Keep in mind that you'll want an attainable goal, and there's always an opportunity to adjust your goal throughout the Bike MS season. Once you’ve settled on your goal, make sure to log into your account and update it.

Step #3: Share your commitment & make a plan

You've created your donor list and set your goal; next comes what many people think is the hardest part of fundraising: the ASK. Tell everyone what you're doing — the excitement is contagious, and your story will inspire others. Articulate why you are taking on a Bike MS challenge. Your commitment will be the reason they choose to give you a donation.

There are so many different ways to raise money for people with MS. Whether you're hosting a party or silent auction, sending letters, or doing it door-to-door, you're making a big difference in the lives of people with MS by raising funds and awareness.

But who says it has to be hard? Online fundraising is the easiest, most convenient way to fundraise! Friends and family can donate directly to you online — no cash, no checks, no hassle. Learn more about online fundraising tools or access your Participant Center now.

Do you have questions about fundraising, using your Participant Center or event information? Please call our Fundraising Support Center at 855-372-1331 for assistance.

Where your money goes

Know the facts about MS and how it affects people living with the disease. Provide your donors with information about where their money goes so that they know how they’re making a difference. Funds raised from Bike MS are vital in providing programs and services to thousands of local families affected by MS.
