Awareness & Fundraising

Join our new campaign!

Optimism Ad
People with young onset Parkinson's disease, their family members and their friends often find that they want to "do something" active to show themselves and the world that they won't let Parkinson's slow them down.

Help us spread Optimism by increasing awareness and raising funds for critical research, education, and support services. Your support will make a difference to people with Parkinson's now and in the future.

You can now search online for an existing event, or gather your family, friends, co-workers and community members to start your own event. We will provide all of the tools to get your event started, including our Event Starter Kit
