CONNECTICUT CHAPTER COMMENTS
By Gladys Tiedemann
Chapter President
Greetings on behalf of the Connecticut Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association (CC / APDA)!
CC / APDA has maintained a strong presence in our region since its founding in 1984. The Chapter is a dedicated, volunteer, grassroots organization. It is affiliated with the national APDA headquarters in New York.
How has the CT Chapter made a difference for those affected by PD in our state?
Our Chapter offers:
- critical programs designed to improve the quality of life for Parkinson individuals and their families
- many educational workshops and conferences
- a dynamic support group and volunteer network
- subsidies for important services
- community awareness programs about PD
- fundraising events, such as our annual Walk-a-thon and family festival, to earmark dollars for essential research as well as our CT outreach services.
How can you support us as we support you?
During this difficult and altered economy, many non-profits are experiencing a marked decrease in contributions. For the first time in the Chapter’s 25 years, we are making this special plea for your support. We do not want to scale back CT Parkinson programs and services that make a difference—that can transform the manner in which people affected by PD "live well" with this chronic, progressive illness.
Please consider:
- becoming a CT Chapter / APDA member for $25.00 per year which entitles you to receive our mailings, a calendar of PD events, qualification for our subsidies, and more.
- making a tax-deductible donation to the Chapter. Be assured that any size gift, whether large or small, makes a difference. (501c3 not-for-profit status) Click below
- contributing to your workplace charities by designating the CT Chapter / APDA as recipient of your dollars (for example, donate to Community Health Charities, the United Way, or other business campaigns).
