PRO is headed to the World Parkinson Congress in Phoenix!

We’re honored to represent our community at one of the world’s most important global Parkinson’s events, where researchers, clinicians, advocates, and people living with Parkinson’s come together from around the world.

We’ll be sharing updates, insights, and resources along the way — and we’d love your input.

💬 What Parkinson’s topics or questions would you like us to explore while we’re there?

Drop them in the comments and follow along with us this week!

Our Third Annual Chocolate & Champagne mixer was an absolute blast...the views, the music, the company, the warmth (literal and metaphorical), the energy. Because of this amazing community, we didn’t just meet our fundraising goal—we exceeded it by nearly 40%.

That impact is real. It means more support groups, more resources, and more connection for people living with Parkinson’s and their families.

Thank you...and tag yourself!

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month 💙

This April, we recognize the strength, resilience, and everyday courage of those living with Parkinson’s — and the families, caregivers, and community who stand beside them.

Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world, but no one should face it alone. There are so many ways to get involved this month:
✨ Learn something new and share it
✨ Check in on someone in the community
✨ Attend a local event or support group
✨ Make a donation to support critical programs and services

Every conversation, every action, every show of support helps build a more informed, compassionate community.

Let’s come together this month to raise awareness, foster connection, and move the needle forward — together.
