PICKLEBALL FOR PARKINSON'S FUNDRAISER - July 19, 2025
Power Over Parkinson’s would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported our Pickleball for Parkinson’s Social Tournament that took place on July 19, at MPC. Whether you were a player, volunteer, donated food, beverages or raffle prizes - your participation enabled us to raise nearly $15,000, which will help provide scholarships to send local people with PD to the 2026 World Parkinson Congress. The WPC is a triennial event, bringing together researchers, clinicians, people living with Parkinson’s disease and care partners in one inclusive forum. It offers a unique platform for exchanging the latest scientific discoveries, medical practices, and advocacy initiatives across disciplines and lived experience. We are immensely grateful for this amazing community support for our organization, helping us realize our goal of improving the lives of local people on the Parkinson’s journey.
Power Over Parkinson’s invited Congressman Panetta to the POP Studio to observe a class demonstration and also to thank him for support of the recently passed Parkinson’s disease Congressional Bill. Now known as the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act, the bill requires the Department of Health & Human Services to address Parkinson’s disease to guide efforts to prevent, diagnose, treat and cure PD.
The Congressman even put on the gloves and tried his hand at the speed and heavy bags!
