About this organization
Mission
Every day, we provide the support, education, and research to help everyone impacted by Parkinson's disease live life to the fullest.
About
Public awareness - APDA currently provides (online and in print) more than 38 free educational publications, 19 in English and 11 in Spanish, to address medical and social aspects of the diagnosis, treatment and care of Parkinson disease patients. Distributed through APDA chapters, I&R centers, and with its '800' call line, APDA also raises awareness through television public service announcement (PSA) campaigns entitled 'Live with Optimism' and 'Look Closer' that have aired nationwide since 2015. Approximately 240,000 newsletters are mailed annually. Contributed services include donated media (television and radio broadcasting and other forms of media, including public service announcements) valued at approximately $9,366,367 for the year ended August 31, 2018 and $13,470,575 for the year ended August 31, 2019. The fair value of the donated media is determined based on consideration of cash payments typically made by buyers for similar advertising and media, standard discounts given for similarly placed media, the media type and placement and other considerations. APDA does not recognize any revenue or expense from services contributed by volunteers because it does not meet the criteria for recognition under FASB ASC 958, not-for-profit entities.
