Our Mission & Future Vision
Building a Stronger Parkinson’s Community Across Greater Tampa Bay
At Only Parkinson’s, our mission is to help people living with Parkinson’s disease maintain strength, mobility, confidence, and independence through specialized exercise, education, and meaningful community connections.
What began with Rock Steady Boxing SouthShore is growing into something much bigger: a comprehensive Parkinson’s-specific movement and wellness community.
And we’re just getting started.
Where We Are Today
Only Parkinson’s LLC is a privately owned business providing Parkinson’s-specific exercise programs, Rock Steady Boxing, individualized training, and educational opportunities.
Our programs are designed to address the unique movement challenges associated with Parkinson’s disease while creating a welcoming, supportive environment for participants and their care partners.
Where We’re Going
We believe access to specialized exercise and education should not depend solely on someone’s financial circumstances or where they live.
That’s why we’re planning to establish a separate nonprofit organization serving Greater Tampa Bay.
This future organization will focus on expanding access to Parkinson’s-specific exercise, education, and community resources, particularly for individuals and families experiencing financial hardship.
Our planned initiatives include:
Sponsor a Fighter
A future sponsorship program designed to help eligible individuals access Parkinson’s-specific exercise programs, assessments, and memberships.
Community Movement Access
Supporting accessible Parkinson’s-specific exercise opportunities in communities throughout Greater Tampa Bay.
Education & Care Partner Support
Expanding educational workshops, community resources, and opportunities for individuals and families to learn and connect.
Volunteer Opportunities
Creating meaningful ways for students, professionals, retirees, and community members to contribute their time, skills, and compassion.
Our Commitment to Transparency
Only Parkinson’s LLC and the planned nonprofit will be separate organizations with distinct financial and operational responsibilities.
Only Parkinson’s LLC will continue providing professional exercise and wellness services.
The future nonprofit will be independently governed and dedicated to its charitable mission. It may support eligible individuals by funding services from qualified providers, potentially including Only Parkinson’s LLC, under appropriate conflict-of-interest safeguards.
The nonprofit has not yet been established, and we are not currently representing contributions as tax-deductible charitable donations.
As our plans progress, we’ll share updates with our community.
Help Shape Our Future
Building a stronger Parkinson’s community takes more than one person or organization.
We welcome individuals, healthcare professionals, community partners, and local businesses interested in volunteering, collaborating, or supporting our future initiatives.
Together, we can expand access to movement, education, and connection for people living with Parkinson’s throughout Greater Tampa Bay.
