Due to construction at the Elks Club, we are also canceling the Music Wellness and Moving to the Music classes for the month of January. We are also canceling our Caregivers Support Group meeting and our Women with Parkinson’s Support Group meeting because of weather conditions and low attendance.
All groups and classes will start up again in February.

Happy New Year!

Perry’s Persevering Pigeys – Moving Day NC Triangle 2025

Join Perry’s Persevering Pigeys on October 25, 2025. A community event uniting people across the region to support the fight against Parkinson’s disease.
This team was created in honor of Perry, a proud Coeur d’Alene local living with Parkinson’s, whose determination and positivity continue to inspire everyone around him. His daughter started this fundraising walk to raise awareness, fund research, and empower families affected by Parkinson’s.
Together, we are walking for strength, courage, and perseverance — moving one step closer to a world without Parkinson’s.

Join the movement.

Walk with us, donate, or support the cause today.
