TITLE A2 Fighting Back against Parkinson's Disease
In 2022, TITLE A2 became an affiliate of Rock Steady Boxing. The mission of Rock Steady Boxing is to equip its affiliates and empower the coaches to improve the quality of life of people with Parkinson’s disease through a non-contact, boxing-based fitness curriculum. As we continue to seek ways to help improve the health and wellness of our community, TITLE A2's partnership with Rock Steady Boxing, fills a need for nearly 1,700 individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's
How can I help?
What exactly does a volunteer do? Glad you asked! Volunteers greatly help out our coaches by assisting in set up before the class, ensuring the safety of all of the boxers during the class, and being a great support system to make the classes fun and meaningful for the boxers. In addition to in-class activities, volunteers can also help with running pre-exercise assessments.
Are YOU interested in becoming a volunteer? We hope so! The best place to start is to go to the right side of this page and provide your contact information as well as how you might want to support the RSB program at TITLE A2! Thank you for being in our corner!
