Congratulations POP!

With two other great organizations presented at our January meeting, (St. Francis Home and Southside Releaf),  Power Over Parkinson's came out on top with the most votes. 

Here's a bit about our winning organization:

Our MISSION
POP is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt private foundation supporting the use of exercise and wellness to reduce the symptoms or slow the progression of Parkinson’s Disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. 
 
Support is provided by:

• Providing financial and other support for people with Parkinson’s Disease;
  
  
• Assisting People with Parkinson’s (“PWP”) and their care partners in overcoming impediments to making exercise and wellness a part of their daily lives.  This includes financial and logistical support that may not be available from other means;
  
  
• Using communication methods including social media to increase awareness of exercise and wellness opportunities within the local Parkinson’s community;
  
  
• Conducting periodic fundraising activities to maintain support of area PWPs and increase awareness of the benefits of various types of physical activity.

Our POP Profiles Series aims to provide you with information and stories from others with the disease as well as clinicians and researchers working in the field.  We've interviewed some remarkable people! View our POP Profiles series on YouTube or via our podcast! ​
