Huge thank you to everyone who braved the snow last week to join us for A Toast to Impact!

It was such a special evening celebrating the incredible impact we made together in 2025 and sharing an exciting look ahead at what’s coming in 2026. Your support and belief in our mission mean everything to the PD community across Iowa.

We had so much fun connecting and celebrating that we realized we didn’t capture many photos until our friends were heading out the door — which honestly says a lot about how great the night was!

A heartfelt thank you to our wonderful speakers as well as Beisser Lumber Company for their continued support and for welcoming us into their beautiful new showroom. We’re so grateful for community partners who help make gatherings like this possible.

Here’s to the impact we’ve made — and the even greater impact ahead. 💙

Together, we can change the future for people with PD! APDA’s new Department of Public Policy & Advocacy is determined to make Parkinson’s the federal priority it deserves to be and to push for increased funding.

Three of APDA’s top priorities are focused on:

💰 Funding and implementing the National Parkinson’s Project
📈 Increasing federal investment in PD research
🚫 Ending the use of paraquat, a toxic herbicide, in the U.S.

We’re already having an impact.
