What an event, what a day, what a community!
On behalf of the thousands of people living with Parkinson’s Disease and their care partners we serve in the Sacramento area, we would like to thank everyone that participated in Moving Day Sacramento 2019. The positively gorgeous weather coupled with the excitement and passion of everyone who attended made for a great day to fight Parkinson’s. Your hard work and dedication helped us raise over $81,000! Many thanks to each committee member, sponsor, team, resource partner and volunteer who gave their time, talent, and support to this important movement. Sending each of you our heartfelt appreciation for helping the Parkinson’s Foundation make life better for people living with Parkinson’s.
