GIVING MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
Established in 1969, Parkinson Society British Columbia (PSBC) is a not-for-profit charitable organization that exists to address the personal and social consequences of Parkinson's disease through education, community outreach, scientific research, advocacy and public awareness.
PSBC receives no government funding and is supported entirely by the generosity of individual donors and members, corporations, foundations and the dedicated efforts of volunteers.
YOUR SUPPORT IS ESSENTIAL!
The manifestation and progression of Parkinson's disease is multifaceted, influencing all aspects of a diagnosed person's life. Funding research and providing education, support services and advocacy are some of the ways that Parkinson Society British Columbia remains at the front line of the fight against Parkinson's.
We cannot do this without your support. Your membership and donation are essential!
Here is how you can make a difference - every donation counts!
