About CLASS and the Multiple Sclerosis Service Society

Services of CLASS and the Multiple Sclerosis Service Society

Multiple Sclerosis Exercise & Support Program. Under a doctor’s direction, staff provide instructional range-of-motion exercises, assistive living device evaluations, and emotional support in the person’s home.

Social and Recreational Activities. Funds are used to assist support group/social clubs that meet weekly or monthly.

In-Home Services. Individuals needing help with personal assistance and daily living activities are provided support, enhancing their ability to live in their own homes and communities.

Community Skill Building. Classes teach daily living skills and support opportunities for individuals with disabilities.

Vocational Services. Community-based volunteer opportunities that determine marketable skills for supported employment, which provides job development, job coaching, and follow-up support.

Community Partners. Short or long-term, one-to-one assistance with illness, family concerns, employment or living arrangements. Staff work with individuals to find solutions to challenges as they arise, with emphasis on learning how to use and work with community resources.

Pennsylvania’s Initiative On Assistive Technology (PIAT). As a PIAT provider, CLASS offers several assistive technology services to help connect individuals with disabilities to the technology that is vital for their independence.

Community Living And Support Services (CLASS) was originally founded in 1951 by parents who were seeking opportunities for their children living with cerebral palsy. Originally chartered as United Cerebral Palsy of Pittsburgh, CLASS has grown and developed to provide quality services to adults of all abilities throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania. CLASS is dedicated to providing innovative services and support to people with varying abilities. We are “Working Toward A Community Where Each Belongs”.

CLASS is dedicated to respecting the rights of the individuals we serve and to ensuring that the adults we serve are indeed treated as adults. Valuing a consumer choice model, CLASS enables every individual to have a role in choosing the types of services they want or need to live as independently as possible in their own homes and community.

The Multiple Sclerosis Service Society (MSSS) joined CLASS in 2010. This partnership has enabled both organizations to more efficiently and effectively provide services to those in the community whose lives are affected by Multiple Sclerosis. The MSSS, now a program division of CLASS, provides people of all abilities the benefit of individualized services in a variety of settings, including their own home, but most importantly, their own communities.

The MSSS of CLASS is a United Way agency and provides services to individuals diagnosed with MS and their family members in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Contributions, foundation grants, program service fees, and special fundraising events, such as this year's Alby Oxenreiter Golf Classic, support the programs and services of the MSSS of CLASS.

Welcome to the Alby Oxenreiter Golf Classic

Dear Friends,

I hope you’ll join me in 2018 to support people living with Multiple Sclerosis throughout Southwestern Pennsylvania to live more satisfying lives in the community.

Many of us know someone with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). My own grandmother battled this difficult, sometimes painful disease, as do many others. The Alby Oxenreiter Golf Classic is one way of raising funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Service Society (MSSS) — a local United Way agency and program of Community Living And Support Services (CLASS) — so we can ensure that people living with MS will be provided with programs, services, and, if appropriate, the equipment necessary to help them live more comfortable lives.

Please take some time to review this brochure and the many services CLASS and MSSS provides. You’ll find there are a number of ways for you and your company to enjoy a great day of golf and friendship, while supporting a very worthy cause.

Thank you for your consideration and support. I look forward to seeing you on August 6, 2018 at Chartiers Country Club.

Sincerely,

Alby OxenreiterWPXI-TVTournament Chairman
