The
Parkinson’s Disease Foundation supports
research and ideas that will improve the lives and futures
of people touched by Parkinson’s. Founded in 1957 by William
Black, creator of Chock full o’Nuts, a successful New
York coffee and restaurant business, PDF was
the first national not-for-profit organization to focus on
Parkinson’s disease. His widow Page Morton Black served as
PDF’s Chairman for than 20 years. Since its founding, PDF has
invested $105 million in the research of leading scientists
around the world and has committed an additional $44 million
to support education and advocacy programs.
