About the Davis Phinney Foundation

Inspired. That’s how people who come in contact with the Davis Phinney Foundation describe their experience – whether it be from the information we provide, the research and programs we support, or the Moments of VictoryTM we help people to celebrate.

While it’s critical to find a cure for Parkinson’s, we feel strongly that people living with this disease also need information and tools to live well today. To support this mission, the Davis Phinney Foundation sponsors programs that provide the information, tools and inspiration that can be used to live well with Parkinson’s today.  In 2010 alone, the Foundation put more than one million dollars to work to support The Victory Summit® symposia series, the Every Victory CountsTM program for living well and to fund innovative research that hopes to prove the importance of exercise and other behaviors on quality of life.

Want to Make a Difference? Volunteer!
Artist and Davis Phinney Foundation volunteer, Maria, has always been drawn to volunteerism. She says that giving of herself is a value instilled by her parents, who encouraged generosity and the concept of giving back. Maria's relationship with the Foundation started with an email from a friend suggesting that she help in our booth at a fundraising event. Her experience was a positive one, and she was hooked. Since then, Maria has volunteered at several Davis Phinney Foundation events, helped in our office, and is a proud member of the Victory Crew grassroots fundraising program. Not only has Maria committed to riding in the 2012 Copper Triangle benefiting the Foundation, she's also put her artistic talents to work for us, donating the profits from sales of her original art cards.

There are countless ways for you to volunteer your time and your talents on behalf of the Davis Phinney Foundation and have fun along the way. To learn more about how you can join Maria and others, visit our Volunteers page.
