On Giving Tuesday, we’re thinking about every Alabama family who has heard the words “You have Parkinson’s.” In that moment, everything changes — and having support matters more than ever.

For more than forty years, the Parkinson Association of Alabama has been here with movement classes, education, support groups, and care navigation. And this work is only possible because of those who choose to give.

Your gift stays right here in Alabama, helping families in your own community find hope and connection. If you’re able, we invite you to give today so no one in Alabama faces Parkinson’s alone.
