Organizer "Pinky" aka Pat Erickson, said "Our costs have been totally covered by our sponsors - every penny brought in will go to helping people with Parkinson's. We are a 100% volunteer organization - donations will never go to salaries or office space."

This year, they had an international sponsor, Condor Airlines, who provided a $750 travel voucher as the prize for the individual bringing in the most in donations. That voucher was won by Lindsey Erickson Willis. Pat said, "As my daughter and a member of the Pinky's Passion Board, she is highly motivated."
