The more funds we raise, the more people we can help!
Earn great prizes for raising $100, $500, and more!
What is an Optimism Walk?
It is a nationwide movement to mobilize and inspire people to step up and put an end to Parkinson’s disease.
An important and fun-filled event that raises much-needed funds and awareness for Parkinson’s disease.
Both Walks feature a short, 0.25-0.3-mile walk, family-friendly entertainment and activities, light refreshments, and the opportunity to visit others with PD and vendors who serve them.
