Become a Crowdfunding Champion for Power for Parkinson’s!
Crowdfunding is a method of fundraising that empowers donors to become advocates for the causes they believe in by sharing fundraising campaigns with their own networks and amplifying their reach. As a small non-profit relying primarily on individual donors, crowdfunding has the potential to make a huge impact on Power for Parkinson’s and our free services for people with Parkinson’s.
This year, everyone who starts a crowdfunding campaign for Power for Parkinson’s has the chance to win a special PFP gift bag. We will be raffling off 3 gift bags to crowdfunding organizers. Follow the steps below to start your own crowdfunding campaign during our Holiday Drive Fundraiser!
