Be a HAPS Hero

You can be a hero to thousands of individuals living with Parkinson's disease in the Houston area. There are many ways you can get involved and help HAPS carry out our mission of improving the quality of life for those with PD.  You don't need to have super powers to be a hero; you can make a difference as a volunteer, a fundraiser or a donor.

Volunteer:
With a small staff of four, volunteers are essential. HAPS volunteers help in a variety of ways, most importantly with planning and producing special events. If you would like to volunteer your time, contact us by phone at 713-626-7114 or send an email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .

Fundraise:
Join us in Pounding the Pavement for Parkinson's as a runner or walker in the Houston marathon each year.
