New Sign Parkinson Alliance is a national non-profit organization founded in 1999 to foster philanthropic activities to raise funds for Parkinson's research. It is the "umbrella" under which the Parkinson's Unity Walk and Team Parkinson's operate. This site offers ways to donate, events that are upcoming, research that is undergoing, links to other Parkinson's sites. There is also a newsletter available to download, or to receive by mail for a suggested $25 donation. The Parkinson Alliance is in partnership with the Tuchman Foundation. Margaret Tuchman underwent Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) surgery in 2000, and has since started a web-based "neighborhood" for others who have gone through the same experience. An allied website to The Parkinson Alliance is the DBS-STN.org. The Parkinson Alliance can be reached by mail at: PO Box 308, Kingston, NJ, 08528-0308 or by phone at: 1-800-579-8440 or 1-609-688-0870.
