Flatbread Pizza Fundraiser to Benefit Parkinson’s Research
Camden, Me., February 12
, 2019 – The Camden-based Parkinson’s Support Group invites pizza lovers to follow their noses to Flatbread Company in Rockport on Tuesday, March 5, between 5:00 and 9:00 p.m. for a deliciously inspiring fundraising event aimed at advancing research into Parkinson’s disease, a neurological condition that affects more than 1 million people and their families worldwide.
During the event, Flatbread will donate $3.50 for each large flatbread pizza and $1.75 for each small flatbread pizza sold to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. A deejay will keep toes tapping, and a raffle will be held, with prizes donated by local businesses.
The Parkinson’s fundraiser is part of Flatbread’s tradition of holding benefit nights in support of nonprofit organizations throughout the Penobscot Bay area. It will be the second time Flatbread has collaborated with the Camden Parkinson’s Support Group to benefit Parkinson’s research.
The support group meets regularly at Quarry Hill in Camden on the first Tuesday of each month from noon to 2:00 p.m. It provides opportunities for people with Parkinson’s, their family members and caregivers to come together to learn, share insights and enjoy the support of others affected by the disease.
For more information about the fundraiser or the support group, please contact Cassie Walters, 596-3978 or ckwalters66@gmail.com.
