BECOME A DONOR
Collaborating with local businesses, organizations, and individuals is vital to develop community awareness, gain financial contributions to help GAPS reach out to those who cope with Parkinson's Disease every day, and continue to provide programs, education, and advocacy every year, thus allowing opportunities for members to exercise, support one another, and to stay involved in their community. Access to these programs helps our members remain positive, vibrant, healthier, and beat back the Parkinson's Disease progression.
GAPS is a 100% local and independent organization. We rely solely on the support of our community for our financial solvency. Please consider how you can contribute to the growing impact GAPS is having on those living with PD in the Upstate of South Carolina.
