Fundraising

Set up your personal fundraising page. Include pictures and tell your story about why you are a member of Team Parkinson’s.

Encourage your donors to donate online. In addition to saving time and helping reduce the amount of paper we use, giving online is the simplest way for you to keep track of your donations. If your donors choose to write a check, it should be made payable to the Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation and sent to the following address:

Attn: Team Parkinson’s
Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation
400 Mercer St., #504
Seattle, WA 98109

Note: Each check must have the rider's name in the memo portion to be credited to your campaign.
