The Tom Sherak MS Hope Foundation partners with leading MS research institutions such as UCLA, UCSF, and others to develop new treatments to slow down the progression of MS; determine the causes and triggers of MS; and ultimately to find a cure for MS.

We also support the needs of those living with MS in our local area by funding requests from individuals living with MS for equipment and scholarships to The Marilyn Hilton MS Achievement Center at UCLA.

We couldn’t do this without your generosity and we are proud to say that 93.5% of every dollar raised goes directly to funding these and other action-oriented, cutting edge measures.
