Foundatain Hills support groups raises funds for Barrow
The Fountain Hills Parkinson Support Group donated proceeds from their Pennies for Parkinson’s campaign to the Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center (MAPC) at Barrow.
“The Ali Center has been very helpful to our group since we first organized about three and a half years ago,” said Bruce Florence, 79, the founder of the support group. “The center assisted us in getting organized and has been terrific in providing speakers and instructors. Today we are giving them a check for $1,406.92. It’s our way of helping support the great work they do.”
More than 90 people have attended the Fountain Hill’s Parkinson Support Group since it was established. Its Pennies for Parkinson’s (Until We Find a Cure) project has given a total of $3,602.88 to MAPC.
“We have been delighted to help the Fountain Hills group build their educational activities, and we really appreciate their support,” says Margaret Anne Coles, program manager.
