2026 Fundraising Incentives

The Parkinson Hero Walk demonstrates why community is so important for individuals living with Parkinson’s, their care partners, and their healthcare team. Your support, hard work, and dedication enables the success of these events, and we have special incentives available to show our appreciation.

Register and activate your fundraising campaign to start earning prizes!  MPF Walk fundraising rewards are offered when you raise $100 or more. 

Prizes are earned by registered walkers including an individual participant, Team Captain, or Team Member who have achieved one or more of the seven designated levels and tracked via their personal fundraising page.

If you have any questions about our fundraising incentives program, please contact Katie Alexander at programs@parkinsonsmi.org.

Incentive Eligibility:

  • Fundraising incentives are available to registered participants only.
  • To qualify for incentives, donations must be credited to your personal fundraising page.
  • Team fundraising totals do not count toward individual incentive levels.

Incentives can be earned through October 23, 2026.

The First Step $100, Hero Circle $500, and Trailblazer $1,000 level prizes are available on-site at each walk. The Hero Circle shirt size is based on the size listed on your registration submission.

Hero Tribute $250 signs are printed 2 weeks before the walk to be placed along the walk route the day of the event.  To ensure that your sign is made, it is recommended to earn $250 or more 2-3 weeks prior to each walk.

Incentives at the Pathfinder $2,500 and higher levels will receive an email after the fundraising cutoff date with information about your earned prize level and how to redeem them. Email communications will be sent to the email address you registered with.

Teams who raise $5,000 or more at least 2 weeks before the Walk will enjoy a dedicated space – complete with a reserved 10’x10’ tent, table, and chairs – to gather their family and loved ones on Walk day. 

Teams will also have a banner, displaying their team name, printed and included in their reserved space.
