We often hear from people looking for more ways to get involved in our community. Here are some ways you can be proactive in supporting the Foundation so we can help more people live well with Parkinson’s this summer.
June
Already doing some spring cleaning? No longer working in an office, which means you no longer have to commute? Consider donating a vehicle to the Foundation. Vehicles for Charity will walk you through the simple process and will even come and pick the vehicle up from your house free of charge.
To learn more about how donating a vehicle might work for you, check out this blog post.
July
Join us for the third annual Every Victory Counts Challenge (EVCC) this July! Push yourself to get outside by setting a goal to move, walk, bike, or do any activity that helps you stay active. A bonus of joining the EVCC is that you will have access to our exclusive race village network on Facebook.
Register for the 2022 Every Victory Counts Challenge here.
August
August is National Make a Will Month. You can leave a legacy quickly and easily by making a planned gift and joining our Legacy Society. Our partnership with FreeWill can help you take the next step. This free, online resource will guide you through the process of creating your will and your legacy in 20 minutes or less. Get started today.
You can find more information on how to make a Legacy Gift through FreeWill on our planned giving page.
FreeWill can also help you make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) from your retirement account. These gifts allow you to make a big impact and receive tax advantages. Win-win.
You can learn more about the benefits of giving through your IRA in this blog post.
