Parkinson’s Disease affects more than 10 million people worldwide, and while there isn’t a cure yet, medication and lifestyle changes can make an impact on the symptoms. Michelle Hespeler, executive director of Beat Parkinson's Today, arms herself with exercise to fight Parkinson’s. BPD Today offers classes like yoga, weightlifting, and no-contact boxing — each ending with a meditation session. Families and caretakers can attend workshops and trainings to support their loved ones. "These clients taught me about what it means to have a winning mentality,” says Caroline Murray, a trainer at BPD Today. After teaming up with Bonterra, BPD Today raised over $7,000 on its first Giving Tuesday, empowering their teachers, fitness classes, and participants to fight the disease.

“For me, Pride represents a time to relish in celebrating our community. It is an opportunity to reflect and appreciate the events that have transpired to get to where we are today and to enjoy feeling especially connected to other members of our community.” — Aron Kaufman, senior data analyst. Part of Aron’s connection to the LGBTQ+ community is his volunteer work with the Hetrick-Martin Institute. They provide free programming for LGBTQIA+ youth year-round, and Aron supports them with meal service. He especially appreciates having positive interactions with the kids.

“Pride started as a riot, as a call to action,” says Elizabeth Schedl, executive director of Hudson Pride Center. “It’s a celebration of who we are, but it’s also about activism and all that’s left to be done.” The LGBTQ+ community faces barriers when it comes to physical and mental healthcare, that Hudson Pride Center works to overcome. By offering gender-affirming care, housing, healthcare, support groups, and other much-needed resources, Hudson Pride Center is helping the LGBTQ+ community thrive.

Did you know there’s a direct correlation between the ocean’s health and the globe’s climate? "Communities depend on the ocean for sustenance, for their livelihoods. Dr. Earle says, 'No water, no life. No blue, no green.'" — Caro Dratva, development team specialist at Mission Blue / Sylvia Earle Alliance. To protect 30% of the oceans by 2030, Mission Blue created Hope Spots — ocean areas that have the potential to come back from the impact inflicted by overfishing, pollution, and climate change.
