Get ready! It’s almost time for Step Forward!
Step Forward is Parkinson Foundation Western Pennsylvania’s (PFWPA) annual family-friendly fundraising event. It is a day for the local Parkinson’s community to come together and raise awareness and money so everyone who is impacted by this disease feels heard and supported. This event is kid-friendly, dog-friendly, and open to anyone who wishes to spread hope and joy to the Parkinson’s community! There will be live music, exercise demos, a Step Forward walk, food, beverages, a vendor village, photo booth, games and more!
We are encouraging everyone to raise money and awareness for PFWPA so we can continue to offer valuable programming, events, webinars, and resources for the local Parkinson’s community. We have a free fundraising toolkit with information on Peer-to-Peer fundraising and tools (email template, visuals for social media, etc) you can use to make your fundraiser a success!
Let’s put the FUN back in fundraising! This is our largest fundraiser of the year and we can’t do it without you! Register today and invite your friends and family to support the Western Pennsylvania’s Parkinson’s Community and enjoy an afternoon of good fun!
When you register to attend as an adult, you will automatically get an individual fundraiser page for Step Forward. You can either:
1) Fundraise for Step Forward (Yes!)
OR
2) You can forgo fundraising and just attend the Step Forward event on September 9th.
If you choose to fundraise (woo hoo!), you can customize your individual page to your liking and share that page with family and friends to spread the word and raise money for PFWPA programming and events! Your registration fee for Step Forward will go towards your fundraising total. Example: if you purchase 1 adult ticket for Step Forward for $35, that means you have already raised $35 for your individual fundraising page!
We are giving away prizes for different fundraising milestones you reach!
You will receive all prizes up to the amount you fundraise. (Example: if you raise $100 you will receive a water bottle and Step Forward t-shirt) We will also be giving special prizes to the top 3 individual fundraisers! You will have until September 30th to raise money for Step Forward.
We will also be doing a 50/50 raffle. You can purchase tickets when you register OR in-person at Step Forward.
50/50 Raffle tickets are: $5 = 1 ticket OR $20 = 5 tickets.
The top 3 individual fundraisers will receive one of the following prizes (in addition to the 5 prizes listed above!)
The top fundraiser will choose the prize of their choice, the second top fundraiser will choose one of the remaining two prizes, and the third top fundraiser will receive the prize that is remaining. Read more about the prizes below.
