Our mission

• To provide moral support and fellowship to people with Parkinson’s Disease, their families and care partners.

• To raise awareness and disseminate information regarding living well with Parkinson’s Disease.

• To act as a resource center for members and others who would like to know more about living well with Parkinson’s.

​

We are not a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, we are organized more like a club or a friends group. 

We are a grass roots, volunteer led group. We accept donations

 Funds collected are used for:

• Paying for website hosting fees

• Paying for Zoom license costs

• Subsidizing our summer picnic and winter party
