It’s hard to believe how quickly time goes by! We are currently making plans for our FOURTH annual #OilersRigLive4MS event!
This season’s fundraiser is slated for January 21, 2017 at The Pint Downtown. This event gets bigger and better every year and our plan is to blow our previous fundraising tallies out of the water.
As you may or may not be aware, The MS Society is a charity that is near and dear to us at the Oilers Rig as two of our team members, Dave Gordon and Sean Wingrave, are battling the disease themselves.
The MS Society of Alberta ensures that no one faces Multiple Sclerosis alone. In communities across the province and the NWT, volunteers and staff provide information, support, educational events and other resources for people with MS and their families and work to change government practices.
This work – and that of MS Society funded researchers – is supported by donors, event participants, corporate sponsors, volunteers and staff from coast-to-coast.
We are proud to say that we’re a part of the group that helps support this wonderful cause.
