PARKINSON’S FOUNDATION

The Parkinson’s Foundation makes life better for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) by improving care and advancing research toward a cure. Our work with the Parkinson's Foundation is particularly important and personal to us, as Jon lost his father to the disease in 2003. Each April, Jon co-chairs a fundraising event in New York City, which supports the Parkinson's Foundation. "Celebrate Spring" has raised over $1,500,000 since its inception in 2008. In 2017, Jon was selected as a Northwestern Mutual Community Service Award recipient for his work with the Parkinson's Foundation. As part of the award, he was able to present the Parkinson's Foundation with a $15,000 grant from the Northwestern Mutual Foundation.
