I’ve done a variety of work for The Parkinson Alliance since early 2001.\u00a0 In fact, it was the catalyst to GloDerWorks<\/a> being born, although that’s another story.\u00a0 Back in March I was asked to create the artwork for a fundraising campaign in recognition of April being national Parkinson’s month.\u00a0 The campaign was held at a small chain of high-end local supermarkets, McCaffrey’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is the poster I came up with, which was created in a couple different sizes, with this size being on the front door of the supermarket.\u00a0\u00a0 On the poster are the two circles representing a $1 or $5 donation that shoppers could make to the Alliance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The smaller posters were at each check out area with stacks of circles.\u00a0 When someone donated, their name was added to the circle and the circle displayed at the store.\u00a0 I finally got over to McCaffery’s to see what it looked like, and I was extremely suprised at how cool everything looked and how popular it was.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The circles was hanging all around the store.\u00a0 At the customer service area, where flowers were sold …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They went around the meat counter …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Around the frozen foods, the front windows, the deli area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They even hung from the lights in the store.\u00a0 It was fantastic!\u00a0 While the successful campaign has now concluded from the store, The Parkinson Alliance always takes donations.\u00a0 The unique thing about the organization is the 100% of donations from individuals are match by The Tuchman Foundation.\u00a0 This means that 100% of your donation goes directly to Parkinson’s research. Not many organizations can make this claim. \u00a0 Additionally, they are the umbrella organization for several other Parkinson’s organizations.\u00a0\u00a0 If you’re looking for an incredibly dedicated non-profit to donate to, please check out The Parkinson Alliance<\/a>.<\/p>\n
