PGO Class Sponsorship

PGO is proud to partner with local businesses and organizations to sponsor wellness classes so they may be offered at no-cost to Parkinson’s families.

APPLICATION GUIDELINES

Prior to beginning the application, applicants are strongly encouraged to review all groups and classes currently supported by the PGO listed under Wellness Classes and Support Groups to eliminate class duplication and scheduling overlap.

Classes must be led by an instructor with background training or education working with those with Parkinson's. PGO does not provide any Parkinson's training courses for instructors, but financial assistance for training courses offered by external entities may be available through the Len S. Burton Memorial Scholarship.

Sponsorship applications are accepted on an ongoing case-by-case basis. Each application is subject to an individual evaluation to determine the appropriate level of funding support.

PGO usually sponsors classes at a weekly group rate and not by the individual.

Only one sponsorship request is allowed per application.

Submitted applications will be evaluated by our Board of Directors at their next monthly meeting. Recipients will be notified via email of the board’s decision within a month of the meeting.

To ensure successful implementation of a newly sponsored class, an 8-week pilot period is typically recommended by the PGO Board of Directors. After this period, the board will re-evaluate the progress of the class and any proposed suggestions or changes to the sponsorship agreement at their next monthly meeting. After this point, the class will continue ongoing unless otherwise specified.
