Supporting the Mission to End MS
Every Because I Can screening is an opportunity to do more than share a story. It is a chance to turn awareness into action.
As part of the Becaue I Can Film Tour, host organizations are encouraged to include a donation component in support of the National MS Society and its work to end multiple sclerosis through research, advocacy, programs, and support for people living with MS.
Whether through ticket proceeds, attendee donations, sponsor contributions, or a host organization gift, each screening helps carry the mission forward.
Because we cannot cure MS alone.
But together, we can work to end MS.
