How much does it cost to participate?
There is no fee to register for Moving Day, but we ask that everyone considers fundraising at least $100. Your donations and fundraising efforts help support the Parkinson’s Foundation as well as funding programs in the local Bay Area. If your pledges total $100 or more, you will receive an official Moving Day T-shirt. You may also qualify for other great prizes as you continue to fundraise.
Route
Both 1 mile and 3 mile routes will be available. We will be walking around the Evergreen Valley campus and along the various trails in the adjacent neighborhood. The official route is still being finalized, and will be updated here once it is confirmed.

Cash, check, and credit card donations will also be accepted on the day of the walk. These can be turned in at registration upon arriving. You must fill out a donation envelope in order to turn in donations on site. These can be picked up at the registration tent.
T-shirts
Participants who raise $100 or more will receive an official Moving Day T-shirt. The $100 is based on individual fundraising and not team fundraising amounts. Participants can collect their shirt event day at the T-Shirt booth after receiving a coupon when they check-in at registration the morning of the walk.
What is a Movement Pavilion?
