Heidi is no stranger to Climb to the Top; this will be her third year participating. Through her fundraising efforts, Heidi has raised more than $6,000 and has claimed “Top Fundraiser” status all three years! She has set an impressive fundraising goal of $3,000 this year and we know she can do it! Via her personal fundraising page, Heidi encourages her donors to utilize “matching gift “programs to help her reach her goal.

Keep up the great work Heidi!

Fundraising tip: Follow Heidi’s lead and let your donors know about “matching gift” programs. Many companies have matching employer gifts and volunteer incentive programs to maximize their financial contributions to non-profit organizations. For you, this means they would match your donations to the New York City – Southern New York Chapter of the National MS Society, which in turn increases your fundraising total and brings us closer to a world free of MS. Ask your
donors to check for eligibility by looking up their employer at
