murray and list members,
This site is impressive, I've bookmarked the URL, and would be a good
place to check out validity of charities. I have a question re:Chicago
based UPF. Is this organization still in existence or has it merged with
another pd org? I used to get a great newsletter filled with medical
research updates from the widow of a pwp I know. Seems I remember the
newsletter stating that UPF and ??? were merging to reduce administrative
costs and hopefully increase the value of the two orgs by uniting. Anybody
know more about what I cann't remember clearly on this chicago/pd org?

Hi Folks;
I saw a little blurb on TV about an organization called Philanthropic
Research Inc. and their on-line database of charitable organizations
http://www.guidestar.org
I went to their site, clicked on advanced search, typed Parkinson's
in the keyword box, clicked on Search, and voila! 111 orgs. !!
You can click on each in turn and learn a little more about them. I
noticed the National Parkinson Foundation listed several times...
Why?? Well, just maybe 'cuz each listing allows them to participate
in the funds donated to Philanthropic Research Inc.??
If any org. is listening and wants to look into this go to the site
and explore all the links and see what your impression might be...
Maybe good for Pennies For Parkinson's fer instance??????????
The whole on-line expansion is still rather mind boggling don't you
think???
all the best ........ murray
