From the Organizer
WHAT IS LITTLE MOVERS, BIG IMPACT?
Your child will participate in a fun, 5-minute movement challenge to help raise money for the Parkinson’s Foundation. Children choose one movement activity they enjoy and collect pledges based on how many movements they complete. This event focuses on fun, effort, and helping others— not competition. There is no cost to participate.
ABOUT THE PARKINSON’S FOUNDATION
The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. The funds we raise will help provide life-changing support to people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners.
WHY PARKINSON’S?
Parkinson’s disease affects how people move, balance, and coordinate. Each year, 90,000 people in the U.S. are newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease—joining more than one million Americans and ten million people worldwide living with PD today.
We’ve united as Parkinson’s Champions to raise funds and awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation, using our passion to make a meaningful impact.
By participating, kids are helping support:
- Research toward better treatment
- Care programs for individuals living with Parkinson’s
- Education for families impacted by Parkinson's disease
Join us as a Parkinson’s Champion as we challenge ourselves to raise funds and awareness for the Parkinson’s Foundation to make life better for people living with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.
Thank you for supporting us and the vital work of the Parkinson's Foundation.
