Join a “Drive Toward a Cure Day”
Local Drives from Coast-to-Coast Throughout the Year
Cars and Camaraderie
It was 1817 when James Parkinson published the first detailed essay about what was then known only as “shaking palsy”. Surely it’s time we found a cure!
While April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, we believe every month should offer an opportunity to spread awareness and raise much needed funds. Join us to blend cars and camaraderie for this important cause and help us to benefit those challenged by Parkinson’s Disease today and aid further research efforts to put an end to this indiscriminate, progressive movement disorder.
Check Out Our Rally Across America Events!
We’re building a series of events, in partnership with Rally Across America, to support the “Access to Care” program we established with local Parkinson’s Foundation Centers of Excellence from coast-to-coast. The first date has just been announced. We’re also looking for ambassadors to help stir up local support – contact us!
