Since 2015, the Jayman team has partnered with the MS Society of Canada as the title sponsor of this important event that helps raise funding for the programs and resources needed to ensure the quality of life for those living with multiple sclerosis. MS research is close to the hearts of many at Jayman BUILT, and their 2024 MS Walk team, the Jayman Joggers, were proud to have raised $15,160 for this worthy cause.
