Joe & Patty Schlicher presented with Tulip Award
Four years ago, Joe & Patty Schlicher took over a community golf outing that had been held for many years to support WPA. Together with their friends and family, they have held the “Movers & Shakers Classic” golf outing in Elkhorn as a way to raise awareness and money for WPA.
Joe & Patty’s support is evident through their work year-round, not just at the golf outing. They were instrumental in starting a Rock Steady Boxing class at the Geneva Lakes Family YMCA, and they started a support group for people with PD and caregivers in conjunction with the Boxing class. Patty also joined WPA’s newly formed Caregiver Committee to help us expand our programming.
Joe & Patty were surprised with the Tulip Award at the Movers & Shakers Classic on June 2. The award recognizes a worthy individual, couple, or family who have shown dedication and a commitment toward helping people with PD and educating the public about PD.
We are so grateful to Joe & Patty for the work they have done to promote hope, community, support, and resources for people with PD and their loved ones!
WPA’s revamped Mission Statement
In order to realign WPA’s Mission Statement with our goals and program offerings, our Board of Directors recently revamped the statement:
Providing hope, community, support, and resources for people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones.
This new mission statement truly shows what WPA is able to provide for YOU. We are a broad and diverse organization, providing you with what you need as you navigate life with Parkinson’s – whether it’s your own Parkinson’s, or that of a loved one.
This new mission statement is flexible and broad, and doesn’t focus on any particular program or service we offer. We are constantly seeking opportunities to expand and broaden how we connect with people with Parkinson’s, caregivers, medical professionals, and more.
Finally, this new mission statement is brief and easy to remember. When someone new connects with WPA, we want to be able to easily share with them our place in this community!
