A note from the Dave Parker39 Foundation:
In 2015 we started a charitable foundation (The Dave Parker39 Foundation) to supply information and education to patients, families, and caregivers of those with Parkinson's. and support the work of the UC Gardner Neuroscience Institute.
The Dave Parker39 Foundation is an all-volunteer organization, no salaries are paid, and minimal overhead allows us to focus funds on our Mission. We invite you to join our terrific group of sponsors, golfers, and volunteers!
Over the last 9 years we have donated $25,000 to the University of Cincinnati Gardner Neuroscience Institute Building Fund and over $100,000 to the UCGNI research, and the Dave Parker39 Foundation Critical Care Fund, which we established in 2021. This fund within the larger UC Foundation is being used for a dedicated dietician to work with patients and caregivers of the movement disorders division.
