Mission Statement

Our mission is to accelerate advances towards a cure for multiple sclerosis (MS).

Description

Our mission is to accelerate advances towards a cure for multiple sclerosis (MS). Our primary strategic intiative is the establishment of the MS Repository, a large-scale collection of highly-characterized biosamples available to scientists at any organization conducting research that contributes to our mission. All data generated through analysis of MS Repository samples is contributed back to Accelerated Cure Project, resulting in an increasingly valuable and comprehensive information resource that can be analyzed to reveal new insights about MS.

ACP has a 3 Star rating from Charity Navigator.

I have been volunteering at ACP events for a couple years now and I have thoroughly enjoyed each experience. Having volunteered at many other events for various organizations, I have found that ACP plans extremely well for their volunteers and makes you feel like an integral component of their work, as opposed to a burden. I've always felt like the staff at ACP has welcomed me at each event, asked to hear about the developments in my life since we last saw each other, and kept me informed throughout the event as to expectations, breaks, and feedback. As I mentioned before, I have volunteered with many other organizations, however, ACP is the one I have gone back to time and time again because I truly feel appreciated and a part of all the good ACP is trying to accomplish. I would recommend ACP to anyone who is looking for an opportunity to connect with an organization that has a powerful mission and a willingness and desire to make volunteers a part of that work.

My husband and I have had the pleasure of volunteering at several ACP events over the past year. Each event has been well organized and the expectations and schedule for volunteers have been well outlined and communicated ahead of time. We have volunteered for other organizations in the past, but found that with much larger organizations, we never got to connect directly with the cause or the people benefiting from the organization. What keeps us coming back to ACP is the close connection to the people and the cause. Both the event attendees and the ACP employees are so warm and welcoming that we feel like we are part of the family at each event. This is an amazing organization and a great opportunity to work directly with and for the people that benefit from an incredible cause.
