The Parkinson's Unity Walk is a nonprofit fundraising organization focused on supporting Parkinson's disease research through a single-day, grassroots event. The annual 1.4-mile, wheelchair-accessible walk in New York City's Central Park draws sponsors that ensure donations are allocated entirely to research funded by four Parkinson's disease foundations, highlighting a collaborative approach to advancing scientific study. The event also functions as an educational and community-building day, providing information and resources for the Parkinson’s community through its sponsors and partner foundations. Based in Kingston, New Jersey, the organization operates within the fundraising sector and emphasizes accessibility and community involvement as core aspects of its activity. While the event was held virtually in 2020 and 2021, it traditionally occurs each April in Central Park, reflecting a focus on mobilizing supporters around a concrete, physical gathering.
