Teams

Are you ready to climb for a cure? Climb to the Top is the National MS Society New Jersey Metro Chapter’s newest event! Join us for our first-ever “vertical road race,” and take on the 33 flights of stairs, 822 steps of Jersey City’s Mack-Cali’s Harborside Plaza 5 building, located on the Hudson River. Rise to the top and enjoy a picturesque view of the New York City skyline – all while helping to create a world free of MS!

What better way to embrace this new event than with a team? Forming a Climb to the Top team gives you the opportunity to overcome this unique challenge with those who mean most to you for a great cause. Recruit friends, family, co-workers and neighbors to climb alongside you and make memories that will last a lifetime. Now is your chance to climb together to end MS!

Team Information

Having a team by your side while you climb to the top will make your experience that much more enjoyable! 

Creating a team is a great way to help end multiple sclerosis forever. Team captains are provided with support to help recruit and motivate their team, as well as fundraising materials, an online team page and event materials. There is no additional fee for creating a team and team members are individually responsible for their fundraising minimum of $250.
