When you become a PDF Champion, you will be able to use our 'how-to' handbook and make your own personalized webpage, where family and friends can view fundraising goals and event pictures, and make an online donation toward your event! You can even make your donation page in honor of or in memory of a loved one.

As a PDF Champion, you will also receive official PDF endorsement of your event, technical assistance, PDF materials and recognition on our website.

Choose a fundraising link:

• Organize an Event
  Running in a marathon? Walking, biking, sailing or bowling? For any of the events you organize or participate in, you can create an online sponsor page so your friends, family and colleagues can lend their support.
  
• Click to a Cure
  You do not have to have an event to help.  You can create a personal fundraising page with your story about why you are raising funds for Parkinson's.  Email the link to your contacts and ask them to help support the cause.
  
• Honor a Loved One
  Honor someone you love who lives with Parkinson's disease by creating an online giving page as a tribute to a family member or friend.
  
• Create a Memorial Fund
  If you have lost a loved one and wish to pay tribute to them, you can create a special memorial fund online.  Upload pictures, stories and memories to share their life and legacy with others.
