MSSP Mission Statement & Overveiw

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS SOCIETY OF PORTLAND, OREGON, INC.·FRIDAY, JUNE 21, 2019·
Founded: 1949

Mission Statement: To improve the Quality of Life of persons with Multiple Sclerosis and their families

Company Overview: In 1949, a woman battling the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis couldn’t attend her child’s school play at Franklin High School. With neither a ramp nor w

heelchair transportation, she was literally a prisoner in her own home. Her plight came to the attention of the Columbia Lions Club. The members decided something had to be done to help the Portland-area community of people with MS. With their help and diligence, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Portland, Oregon, Inc., was born. MSSP was created as an organization with just one mission: to improve the lives of individuals, and their families, affected by Multiple Sclerosis. To meet that mission and promise, MSSP has developed a host of unique client-oriented programs. These range from educational programs on the disease for people with MS and their caregivers, to social services, medical equipment and free massage therapy visits, to portable air conditioners to beat the effects of seasonal heat.

Hello MSSP Family-
Earlier this year Candyce Hayes retired after 32 years of service as the Executive Director of the MSSP. We wish her a happy retirement. We are pleased to announce that Candyce’s successor is Tracy Neu.

The Neu family (Randy, Tracy, Carter and Wendy) have supported the MSSP for nearly two decades through funds raised in annual Slingball Tourneys held the last weekend of June in Pacific City. The tourneys are held in honor of their mother, Marilyn J. Neu, who had MS.

There will be many exciting new programs, fundraisers and
services rolled out as the Neu family takes the MSSP forward,
however due to this being a year of transition, the 2024 MSSP
annual picnic at Oaks Park has been canceled. However, be on the lookout for other events and announcements on the website as the Neu family gets organized.

If you’d like to receive event notices and correspondence, you can
sign up via the website - www.msoregon.org

We hope you have a safe and happy summer!
