CLOSING THE GAP
FOR MS CARE IN
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
We turn community events, fundraising, and everyday generosity into support for multiple sclerosis research and local care access in Arkansas.
The Closer to Home Telethon brought our community together to help expand access to multiple sclerosis care in Northwest Arkansas. From early-morning media coverage to volunteer support, event setup, donor outreach, and live updates, every detail helped move the mission forward.
This behind-the-scenes moment captures more than a broadcast. It shows the people, partners, and preparation behind a shared goal: bringing specialized MS care closer to home for Arkansans living with MS. With a $50,000 match secured, every donation helped build momentum toward local access, coordinated care, and hope for the MS community.
THE NEED
Thousands of Arkansans live with MS, but specialty care access is limited across the state.
THE SOLUTION
A Northwest Arkansas MS Care Collaborative will connect patients with coordinated specialty care, local partners, and support services.
THE GOAL
Raise $50,000 on May 15, matched by another $50,000, to help fund the clinic’s first year.
THE OUTCOME
Northwest Arkansas MS Care Clinic is expected to serve 300 patients, helping more Arkansans access coordinated MS care closer to home instead of traveling long distances for specialty support.
Big Ideas, Real Impact
