Important Safety Information
Our priority is to bring our community back together while continuing to keep everyone safe. We are closely following all CDC and Sacramento County Health Department safety guidelines. Event personnel will be wearing protective equipment, and physical distancing practices will be enforced to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Since there will be multiple opportunities to receive fun prizes and interact through your vehicle’s windows, we require that all participants and volunteers wear a mask at all times. Participants must stay in their cars except for an emergency.
What to Expect at the Moving Day Drive-Thru Celebration
Participants are invited to decorate their cars and drive through a festive route filled with fun, interactive, family-friendly activities. The event will put our community’s energy on full display as we return to celebrating together. This 30-minute experience will include Parkinson’s education, meeting our sponsors, rewards pickup, and more. You don’t want to miss it!
