2012 Charity Partners

Each year the Desert Classic Concours d'Elegance will donate its net proceeds to several very deserving organizations in the Palm Springs, California area. These organizations are renowned for their work and are a vital part of the fabric that makes up our community.

This year the organizations selected are:

ACT for MS

ACT for MS has become the premier resource for individuals in the Coachella Valley who have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. We offer clients a variety of programs and services to help them live with MS, its symptoms and debilities by providing the tools and resources necessary to successfully improve their quality of life while living with an incurable medical condition.

Our major client programs include educational seminars and workshops, weekly strength training, exercise and cardiovascular health programs, semimonthly therapeutic and flexible massage, assistance with equipment products designed to improve their safety, mobility and independence, along with a program of providing electric bill payments and air conditioning repairs for our clients who are financially limited. Our goal is a program of quality assistance that makes a meaningful difference to people with MS and their family members. Without ACT for MS, they would not have access to any of the unique approaches that we provide.
ACT for MS has been presenting client programs for about seven years and the number of clients we serve has grown dramatically. Our individualized approach and dedication to local program services for local area clients is our hallmark.
