Sunflower Rev It Up for Parkinson's WALK/RUN

The Sunflower Rev It Up for Parkinson’s WALK/RUN will take place on Sunday, Sept. 13, 2026. 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.
