Supporting A Great Cause

The Mark Green Sports Center will dedicate $5 from each registration to our Parkinson's Foundation Moving Day Fundraising Team. Since 2016, our Union City Parkinson's Exercise program team has helped raise over $100,000 for people with Parkinson's. Later this year the Parkinson's Foundation will host the annual Moving Day event which raises funds and awareness for Parkinson's. Our Parkinson's Exercise Program in Union City was created thanks to community grants from the Parkinson's Foundation and made possible by events like Moving Day.
