2026 Sponsorship Opportunities
We Can Help You Showcase Your Product
This year, PANC is celebrating 30 years of service to Northern California Parkinson's community! We have numerous opportunities available for organizations wanting to build personal relationships with those in the Parkinson’s community including people with Parkinson's, their care partners, and the medical community at large. We are eager to explore how we can best support your company's goals and objectives.
Partnership with affiliated companies like yours makes it possible for PANC to provide education, information, motivation, and invaluable fellowship to those dealing with PD throughout Northern California. As you know, Parkinson’s is the fastest growing neurological disease in the world which presents us with a clear mandate to do more, for more. We can't change outcomes, but together we can provide tools and resource for lighter PD journeys.
