The vision behind the Next Chapter Campaign Fund is to create a purpose-designed, centralized space that brings together the Alzheimer & Parkinson Association’s program and administrative functions under one roof—improving efficiency, accessibility, and collaboration. The new location will feature flexible, thoughtfully designed areas to enhance the delivery of movement, memory, and educational programs that ensures long-term stability and room for growth. This investment in infrastructure will strengthen community partnerships, increase program impact, and provide a sustainable foundation for serving individuals and families affected by memory and movement disorders.

“This project is more than a move—it’s an investment in the future of our community,” said Peggy Cunningham, Executive Director of Alzheimer & Parkinson Association of IRC. “We’re building a space where education and support can thrive, and where every individual facing memory and movement disorders feels seen, supported, and empowered.”

Community members and businesses are encouraged to get involved and help shape the future of programming for memory and movement disorders in Indian River County.
