     With world leaders talking about dollars in terms of billions and trillions, the Fountain Hills Parkinson Support Group was more than pleased when they collected more than 100,000 pennies in one weekend.  That translated into one thousand two hundred eighteen dollars.  The funds were raised at the Oktoberfest as part of a Pennies for Parkinson's Drive.  The local Parkinson’s Support Group had large red tubs on the ACE Hardware truck that weekend in the Park.


    According to a group member,  “People of all ages brought pennies to us. Pennies came in plastic bags, shoe boxes, jugs, and all manner of containers.”  She said there will be specific dates throughout the year when people will be asked to bring their pennies to a designated Fountain Hills location.  Pennies for Parkinson’s canisters for are located throughout Fountain Hills.  The member added, “So, save your pennies.  This campaign isn’t over yet – not until we find a cure.”


     The pennies were taken to the Muhammad Ali Parkinson's Center in Phoenix where they were sorted and counted.   The dollars collected were deposited in a special account to be used for PD research.





Paul's ACE Hardware store in Fountain Hills, Arizona, supports the Pennies for Parkinson's drive.  Their red truck was the group's focal point when they collected more than 100,000 pennies at the Town's Oktoberfest.
