Paul Gutman is no stranger to the Chapter or its events. He has been a dedicated participant of Bike MS NYC and since the event’s inaugural year in 2009 he has been part of Climb to the Top. To date, Paul has raised nearly $25,000 for the New York City – Southern New York Chapter of the National MS Society making him an “Elite” fundraiser for both events.

He has already become a “Top Fundraiser” for this year’s Climb and is just $400 away from reaching his $2,000 fundraising goal. Paul is so dedicated to the mission, that he recently won a fundraising challenge during Fundraising Week and became a Mission First Member by donating the cost of the prize back to the Chapter.

We can’t thank you enough Paul for your dedication to our mission of creating a world free of MS!

Fundraising tip: Let your donors know how their donation dollars are being used to help those living with and affected by MS.
