MEMPHIS, Tenn. – FedEx Freight is expanding the reach of its newly-launched charitable giving program, Driven Together, through a partnership with the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
The donation was presented during the organization’s annual Bike MS: Bay to Bay fundraising event held Oct. 17-18 in Carlsbad, California. The event raises funds to support critical research, programs, and services for people affected by multiple sclerosis.
“FedEx Freight is honored to support the National MS Society’s mission to advance research and improve the lives of individuals living with multiple sclerosis,” said Meghan Beasy, Driven Together program advisor. “Our team members in California are passionate about this cause, and we are excited to expand our Driven Together program through this partnership with the National MS Society.”
FedEx Freight team members have supported the National MS Society for more than 20 years. This continuing support through the Bike MS: Bay to Bay event exemplifies the foundation of Driven Together: supporting our communities beyond the road.
“Bike MS brings people together around a shared commitment to creating a world free of MS,” said Renata Sahagian, Regional Vice President, West, and Executive Director, Pacific South Coast at the National MS Society. “We are grateful for FedEx Freight’s longstanding partnership and this generous contribution through the Driven Together program. Their support helps fuel important research, expand support for people living with MS, and drive progress toward a future free of the disease.”
