Programs

The following are some of our initiatives that depend heavily on the time and generosity of our volunteers and sponsors. For more information, tap on the program names:

Assistive Devices Exchange Program

Atypical Parkinsonism requires many assistive devices to help along the journey. These devices are sometimes only needed for a short time as symptoms progress. Many families have no further use for these devices, while others are in need. We’ve created a local online exchange network, ADEP, where families can donate their items to others on this journey.

Zoom Support Group

Our Zoom support group meetings provide a virtual platform to connect, share, and support one another on our journeys. These meetings offer a valuable opportunity to come together, learn from each other’s experiences, and find solace in a supportive community.

Coleen’s Hospice Care Home Project

Our hospice care home project focuses on providing a stress- and worry-free environment for individuals and families touched by Atypical Parkinsonism. Our homes aim to offer a place where you can be a family and make memories, while we handle the arrangements and care required. Our care teams will have specialized training in Atypical Parkinsonism and its medical and caregiving challenges.

With your support, we hope to reach our goal and welcome our first residents in the next few years!

Volunteer

We’re putting out a call for help! We are seeking board members and volunteers to join the Coleen Cunningham Foundation. We want to expand our foundation and help as many people as possible, and we can’t do that without our community’s support. Specifically, we’re looking to add team members to our Fundraising and Welcoming Committees. If you or someone you know would be a good fit, please reach out!
