About the Davis Phinney Foundation

Inspired. That’s how people who come in contact with the Davis Phinney Foundation describe their experience – whether it be from the information we provide, the research and programs we support, or the Moments of Victory® we help people to celebrate.

While it’s critical to find a cure for Parkinson’s, we feel strongly that people living with this disease also need information and tools to live well today. To support this mission, the Davis Phinney Foundation sponsors programs that provide the information, tools and inspiration that can be used to live well with Parkinson’s today.  In 2010 alone, the Foundation put more than one million dollars to work to support The Victory Summit® symposia series, the Every Victory Counts® program for living well and to fund innovative research that hopes to prove the importance of exercise and other behaviors on quality of life.
