Rocky Mountain MS Center Guild wants you!

The Rocky Mountain MS Center's Guild is looking for new members. 

Founded in 1988, the Rocky Mountain MS Center Guild’s mission is to heighten community awareness of MS and to raise funds to support the many programs of the Rocky Mountain MS Center.


The Guild organizes one major fund-raising event each year and has raised more than one million dollars for people living with MS and their families. In addition, Guild members enjoy several annual social functions such as a Spring Luncheon, a Fall Membership Luncheon and an annual Holiday Gathering.

We invite you to join the MS Center Guild and become a partner in our battle against multiple sclerosis. Membership is open to anyone 18 years or older who is interested in furthering the purpose of the Guild. For more information, please contact:
