Poker Night
Bring your best “Poker Face” and “Hold’em, “Let it Ride” and be all in to help benefit our Parkinson Community.
Golf Tournament
Are you up to “ Par”? Is your passion Golf? Plan a Golf Tournament with friends and colleagues for an enjoyable day on the course. Tee Up!
All Washed Up
Host a Car Wash- in a school playground, a parking lot or a driveway. A car wash is a simple fundraiser that is good fun. Time to get your shammy out!
Junior Fundraising Program
Release the “Brainchild” in You. We are calling on all young, bold and creative minds to use your positive energies to help us raise funds to support our local Parkinson Community. Your minor actions can make a big impact.
Can you Spare a Toonie?
Calling all juniors to raise $50.00. Simply ask 25 people for a toonie and you are on your way.
Coin Wars
A coin drive is most likely the least expensive fundraiser out there. All you have to supply are jars to deposit the coins. Your coin drive can last for as long as you like and you can organize it in just minutes. Just recruit some fundraisers to carry around your jars and give donors information about why you are fundraising for Parkinson’s. You can set up a change drop off station to simplify the process and form teams to encourage competition.
Lemonade Stand
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. We have an old-fashioned authentic wooden lemonade stand just waiting to be used. Cool, refreshing and “fruitful” fun!
Bottle Drive
A little help from Mom and Dad and this is one of the most rewarding ways to fundraise. Call on your neighbors and friends to donate their empty bottles to help raise funds.
*Don’t forget to promote your Parkinson Fundraiser through flyers, social media, word of mouth and emails!
The Passion for Parkinson’s Foundation could not achieve our fundraising goals without your support. We thank you in advance for your participation and generosity.
Live your best life!
Through the support of our Sponsors, families, and friends we continue to support the people living with Parkinson’s in Halton/Peel.
