About Us

The Brevard Parkinson’s Alliance (BPA) serves all of Brevard County and is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, funded by donations, sponsorships, and fundraisers.

One mission…serve those challenged with Parkinson’s Disease, their caregivers, and families.

Our non-profit is guided by the Brevard Parkinson’s Alliance Board of Advisors, composed of individuals with Parkinson’s, Parkinson’s caregivers, and associated professionals from the area.

We are extremely grateful for the support by several organizations and businesses, who have joined us in supporting the greater Brevard Parkinson’s Community. Please consider thanking and supporting them as they work with us for this cause.
