The MS Young Professionals Network (MSYPN) was the brainchild of Sean McNicholas, a young entrepreneur, and Karen Wenzel, executive director of the Rocky Mountain MS Center. In 2004, the two set out to form a group that would engage 20- and 30-something young professionals in the activities of the MS Center through volunteering, fundraising and education. The group first convened at a barbecue in August 2004 and included 75 interested individuals. Today, the network reaches more than 400 young professionals and is led by a Board of 15 people.

Throughout the year, MSYPN members and their friends meet at networking happy hours, as well as several special fundraising events. From Drag Queen Bingo to Adult Field Day to the more formal Wine Tasting, the events have been extremely successful in both fundraising and education.

The MSYPN mission is to provide an opportunity for young professionals to support the work of the Rocky Mountain MS Center and raise awareness of the prevalence of multiple sclerosis (MS) in Colorado through networking, fundraising and volunteer events. To learn more about joining MSYPN or attending an event, call 303-788-4030 x 100 or email msypn@mscenter.org.

The mission of the Rocky Mountain MS Center is to provide comprehensive, individualized care, support, education, and research to assist those who suffer from MS and their families.
