Thank You Flexxaire!

Parkinson
Association of Alberta has been proud to partner with our title
sponsor, Flexxaire, on our Flexxaire Parkinson Step 'n Stride™ for the
last 4 years.
You may ask, what does being a title sponsor mean? Well, for
most companies, it would mean writing a cheque and making sure their
logo was on all the marketing materials for the event. But Flexxaire is
different. Flexxaire shows they care about Albertans living with
Parkinson's every day. They show they care by encouraging their
employees to participate in Step 'n Stride and by being one of the top
fundraising teams every year. Lastly, Flexxaire shows they care by
showing up for Parkinson Association for Alberta when we need their help
the most.
We'd
like to send out a heartfelt thank you to Flexxaire, for not only being
the title sponsor of Step 'n Stride, but for going far beyond what it
means to be a Title Sponsor.

This
year, our CEO, John Petryshen, had the honor of presenting Flexxaire
with a token of appreciation from our Camrose Support Group. About her
hand-pieced quilt, Connie Henderson from Camrose said:
"The
quilt [] is to be considered as a gift from the Camrose Step 'n Stride
Committee as a whole. It was made as a means to give back and to express
thanks to Flexxaire for their generous contribution that makes events
like Step 'n Stride possible, especially in the smaller communities
where hosting an event might not otherwise be viable."
Thank you, Flexxaire for all you do to enhance the lives of Albertans living with Parkinson's.
