Sunflower Sponsorship Opportunities 2025

Dear Friend,

The James J. and Joan A. Gardner Family Center for Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders is proud to present the Sunflower Rev It Up for Parkinson’s WALK/RUN. Our center focuses on bringing the latest in research-driven Parkinson’s care to our patients, improving the quality of life for generations.

The Sunflower Rev It Up for Parkinson’s WALK/RUN will take place on Sunday, Sept. 7, 2025. This wonderful community event benefits the center’s research and supports educational programming such as the annual patient and caregiver symposium.

We look forward to welcoming approximately 1,000 participants for the WALK/RUN, including those directly impacted by Parkinson’s and those who want to impact research and education in our region. The event features a 5K course through downtown Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, with a 1K option for guests who prefer a shorter walk or run.

We hope you will join the fight to provide better education, resources and research opportunities for our Parkinson’s community by joining us as a WALK/RUN sponsor. Sponsorship packages are outlined in the following pages, where you will find a wide range of available opportunities to support the center and connect with our dedicated attendees.

We invite sponsors to create WALK/RUN teams to join us for the festivities. We’re pleased to offer reduced registration to sponsors so you can build your team of friends, family and colleagues and impact Parkinson’s together!

We appreciate your thoughtful consideration and hope to see you in September. Please contact Sydney Kavish, Director of Development, at Sydney.Kavish@foundation.uc.edu or 513-556-0435 should you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Andrew Duker, MD
