Who can help?

Participants from around the Nation and many international countries coordinate fundraising events to benefit the annual Parkinson’s Unity Walk (PUW). You can be one of them!

As Team Captain, you will be able to encourage your team members to be creative and work hard to increase their personal fundraising goals. In addition, you have a whole team there for you, to support you as you increase your personal fundraising goals.

As a supporter and/or walker, there is also a ton that you can do! Enlist the support of your family and friends while you plan an event or activity that interests you.

Why support us?

100% of all contributions you give to the walk go directly to Parkinson’s Research! Since the first Unity Walk, a full 100% of the contributions you give to the Walk go directly to the major Parkinson’s Foundations for research. We are proud and grateful that our generous sponsors make it possible for us to continue this tradition. Your contributions will support the following foundations:

  • American Parkinson's Disease Association (APDA)
  • National Parkinson Foundation, Inc. (NPF)
  • Parkinson's Action Network Parkinson's Disease Foundation (PDF)
  • The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research
  • The Parkinson Alliance (PA)
  • Parkinson's Institute (PI)
In spite of all the major challenges in the world today, Parkinson’s does not take a day off. There are breakthroughs daily, and now more than ever, we need to continue working together to ensure that our private funding fuels the most promising Parkinson’s research to get us closer to the cure.

Remember, if you can't find what you need contact us. We are always happy to help!
