Including the Dallas Area Parkinson Society (DAPS) in your estate plans is a meaningful way to ensure that individuals and families living with Parkinson’s continue to receive the support, resources, and community they deserve—today and for generations to come.

Your legacy gift honors the vision of our founder, Clarice Dougherty, who in 1978 sought connection and care for her husband at a time when few local resources existed. What began as one woman’s search for community has grown into a network of thriving programs across North Texas. Your planned gift helps us carry Clarice’s mission forward.

 

The Impact of Your Legacy

A Parkinson’s diagnosis affects not only the individual but also their care partners. DAPS is committed to walking alongside them by offering:

•        Compassionate support groups
•        Access to education and reliable information
•        Exercise and wellness classes proven to help slow the progression of the disease
•        Virtual classes for those who face mobility or transportation challenges

Approximately 15,000 neighbors in the Dallas area are living with Parkinson’s, and the need for services continues to grow. A legacy gift ensures that DAPS can expand its reach, enhance its programs, and remain a vital resource for all who need us.

Together, we can shape a stronger, more connected future for the Parkinson’s community in North Texas.

Your legacy can change the landscape of Living Well with Parkinson’s.
