PD Active is a group of people impacted by Parkinson’s disease in the Oakland/Berkeley region. We create and improve programs that support and care for people with Parkinson’s, family and caregivers.We believe that we are our own best advocates, and that acting on our own behalf fosters independence, dignity and respect while preventing isolation and depression, and that we are strongest and most content when we work together.

MAD HATTER FUNDRAISER and AUCTION
to raise money for PD Active’s Dance for Parkinson’s program
$25 suggested donation at the door
RSVP: dance@pdactive.org or (510) 479-6119
Special guest auctioneers will be founding teachers John Heginbotham and David Leventhal of the Mark Morris Dance Group, who helped launch our dance program.
when: Sunday, September 26, 5:30pm to 7:30pm
where: Danspace, 473 Hudson Street, Oakland, CA
what: Fun, refreshments, surprise auction items
why: Grant money and your generous donations have helped support our two
beloved dance classes for people with Parkinson’s disease. Now, just as we are hoping to offer more frequent classes, the grant money didn’t come through.
While we will continue to explore outside support, for now we are dependent on your donations to continue our excellent dance program — the heart of PD Active.
Without grant funding, every class will now cost PD Active $250. We need your donations in order to continue to offer this inspiring program for the growing number of people with Parkinson’s disease.
Please support this program and keep us dancing through life together!
