About Us
Team Pastore is a grassroots community project raising funds and awareness for Parkinson’s disease research. There are many ways to support our team – you can make a difference just by spreading the word about Team Pastore and Team Pastore.com to friends and family for support. More than six million people worldwide are living with Parkinson’s disease today. There are currently no known ways to prevent or accurately predict who will develop Parkinson’s disease, but scientists believe that, of all the brain disorders, Parkinson’s is the one closest to a cure. You can help make that happen.
The idea for Team Pastore came about in 2005, but we have been raising money to honor Al Pastore since 2002. Team Pastore is incorporated as a tax-exempt not-for-profit 501(c)3. Team Pastore accepts money to be used directly for Parkinson’s disease reasearch.
Money raised is used to fund research projects at Beth Israel Medical Center department of Nuerology as well as to support the efforts of the American Parkison’s Disease Association (APDA) and the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF). In the future we hope to be able to support grants directly related to research. By becoming a member of Team Pastore you will receive quarterly emails with updated information on the Team, news, events, and other pertinent information. You will also have access to training tips and stay healthy information.
