Make a positive impact on how chronic disease is managed and support people impacted by Parkinson’s Disease
More than 17,000 Coloradans are living with Parkinson’s disease today. Many of them face the diagnosis feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and uncertain about what comes next. Parkinson’s Pointe exists to change that — and we can only do it because of donors like you.
We are a 100% donation-supported nonprofit. No government grants. No hospital system behind us. Just a community of people who believe that movement, mentorship, and connection can change the course of this disease — and who put their resources behind that belief.
What your gift makes possible
- $50 covers the cost of a class per month.
- $100 funds a Pathfinders mentorship match — connecting a newly diagnosed person with someone who has already found their footing with Parkinson’s.
- $250 sponsors an educational event, bringing specialists, therapists, and PD experts directly into our community.
- $500 equips a new fitness instructor with the specialized training they need to lead Parkinson’s-specific programming.
- $1,000+ makes you a Program Sponsor — recognition opportunities available. See our Sponsorship page for details.
Why it matters — the science behind what we do
Exercise is not optional for people with Parkinson’s disease. Research consistently shows that high-intensity, complex physical activity can slow disease progression — in some cases, as powerfully as medication. But most people with PD stop exercising within 30 days of diagnosis.
Peer mentorship changes that. When people with Parkinson’s are connected to others who have already made exercise a non-negotiable part of their lives, they stick with it. The accountability, the shared experience, and the sense of belonging make the difference between quitting and thriving.
That is exactly what Parkinson’s Pointe was built to provide — and your gift is what makes it possible.

Parkinson’s Pointe relies 100% on donations and your support ensures that cost is not a barrier to a better life!
Medication alone is not enough. The one activity that has been truly disease-altering for me is high intensity exercise. Exercise along with the comradery you feel when working-out hard alongside your friends in the community.
I am in better shape now than I was before I was diagnosed. I know now my life is on the line. But I wouldn’t be able to do it without the support of my community and these classes.
