CHARITABLE DONATIONS

CONNECTICUT CHAPTER GIFTS

The Connecticut Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association continues to be the recipient of generous donations from the community.  Many of these gifts are memorials made upon the death of a family member, friend, or colleague.  The Chapter also receives funds to honor the celebration of significant events in the lives of loved ones.  All contributions are used in Connecticut for supportive services and across the country for Parkinson research.

Listed below are those persons who were remembered or honored in 2006.  We truly appreciate those who considered this designation.  Special thanks to all of you for your thoughtfulness!
