THE PLAYERS and the National MS Society of North Florida Chapter recently announced that Thursday, May 12, will officially be MS Day at THE PLAYERS. Fans are encouraged to wear orange to the first round of THE PLAYERS 2011 in support of the National MS Society and its campaign to spread awareness regarding Multiple Sclerosis.

Representatives from the National MS Society of North Florida Chapter will also be operating the Pedal to THE PLAYERS MS Bike Valet Thursday through Sunday of tournament week. THE PLAYERS is encouraging fans to ride their bikes to this year’s event and for a $5 donation to the National MS Society, fans can leave their bikes for the full day and then text the bike valet when they are ready to leave to have their bike unlocked and ready to go. The Pedal to THE PLAYERS MS Bike Valet will be conveniently located on ATP Boulevard just off A1A near the P1 entrance behind No. 16 green and off PGA TOUR Boulevard.

Also new to THE PLAYERS this year, the tournament will host a Facebook fan event on Thursday, April 21 at Wild Wing Café in Tinseltown. THE PLAYERS Fan Social at Wild Wing Café is open to all fans of THE PLAYERS on Facebook and will feature happy hour drink and food specials and giveaways.
