This is our FUNKIEST fight yet — and you could be front and center with your crew
Come on out and help raise awareness and support for those affected by MS through joyful, high-energy events that celebrate music, movement, and community with a BIG OL FUNKY PARTY!
Beat the Funk out of MS is a tax-exempt (EIN 39-3076316) 501C3 nonprofit organization led by a passionate team of volunteers dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those affected by Multiple Sclerosis. We believe that by bringing people together through joy, movement, and music, we can raise awareness and critical support for the MS community.
We launched Beat the Funk out of MS in 2023 with one simple idea: when people get funky, they get happy. They laugh, they dance, they let go of stress—and in those moments, the world becomes a more positive place. That’s what we aim to create: a vibrant, uplifting atmosphere where fun meets purpose.
Our annual celebration is more than just a fundraiser—it’s a reminder that no matter what life throws at us, we can still find moments of joy and connection. The funky energy we embrace is powerful, liberating, and unifying. And while we may only get together once a year, we carry that spirit with us every day.
Thanks for keeping the Funk alive
