Pitching For Parkinson's & Poling For Parkinson's

06/15/2026

A huge thank you to everyone who helped make the first Poling for Parkinson’s possible.

There were a lot of moving parts behind the scenes, and this event simply doesn't happen without our sponsors, speakers, vendors, volunteers, healthcare partners, and attendees.

The best part of the day was seeing people with Parkinson’s, caregivers, family members, and community organizations all in one room sharing ideas, resources, and experiences.

We're grateful for everyone who gave their time, support, and encouragement to help make the event a success.

Thank you for being part of it. We appreciate you more than you know, and we're already looking forward to next year.

A new event in Green Bay is giving people with Parkinson’s a simple tool to stay active — walking poles.

A huge thank you to Senior Care Life Advisors for stepping up as a Champion Sponsor for Poling for Parkinson's!

Navigating senior care options can be overwhelming for families. Senior Care Life Advisors helps make those decisions easier by providing guidance, support, and trusted resources when they matter most.

Their commitment to serving older adults and their families makes them a natural partner in our mission to support individuals living with Parkinson's disease and raise awareness throughout our community.

Because of sponsors like Senior Care Life Advisors, we can continue bringing education, resources, movement programs, and hope to those impacted by Parkinson's.

Thank you for your generosity, community spirit, and commitment to improving lives.

Memorial Day reminds us how deeply sacrifice and service shape our communities.

Today, we honor the men and women who gave their lives protecting the freedoms we often take for granted. Their courage continues to inspire generations.

At Pitching and Poling for Parkinson’s, we also see the power of people stepping up for others every day — veterans, caregivers, volunteers, families, and community members who choose compassion, support, and service when it matters most.

As we spend time with loved ones today, we remember those who never had the chance to come home.

🇺🇸 Forever grateful. Forever remembered.

We’re grateful to have you alongside us making this happen.

Yesterday was Mom & Pop Shop Day—and it feels like the perfect time to recognize the people who make our events possible.

Every sponsor behind Pitching for Parkinson’s and Poling for Parkinson’s is a local business. Small business owners. Families. People who live here, work here, and care deeply about this community.

They’re not just putting their name on something—they’re showing up for neighbors, for families, and for those living with Parkinson’s right here at home.

Because of them, we’re able to create real impact, real connection, and real support for people who need it.

If you’re out and about today, take a little extra time to support the businesses that support our community.

We’re grateful for every single one of you.

Let’s keep showing up for each other.

We feel incredibly lucky to be part of such a strong and caring community.

Every year we see people come together — families, volunteers, sponsors, and friends — all working to support those living with Parkinson’s.

That spirit of support and connection is what makes these events so special.

Thank you to everyone who continues to stand with the Parkinson’s community.

Here’s to hope, strength, and a lot of green today. 🍀
