Chicago White Sox player Gordon Beckham launched Out of the Park for Parkinson’s in 2010 to raise awareness and support to help end Parkinson’s disease. In 2011, Out of the Park for Parkinson’s raised $62,717 for the National Parkinson Foundation, totaling over $120,000 to date. Gordon and the National Parkinson Foundation look forward to continuing this partnership into 2012!
Join Gordon and his fans to help end Parkinson’s by pledging your support today:
- Friend Gordon on Facebook and follow him on Twitter
- Make a donation today
- Make your next celebration a fundraiser for Out of the Park for Parkinson’s!
All proceeds benefit the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF), a national non-profit organization that funds research, education and outreach programs to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s. NPF has a strong presence in Chicago, supporting the work of Northwestern University’s Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorder Center, and through the local chapter, the Parkinson Association of Illinois.
