About Us • Community Partners • Advisory Board
The Brevard Parkinson's Support Group (BPSG) is based in Melbourne, Florida and serves the Central and Southern part of Brevard County. BPSG consists of over 300 members. The organization is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and is funded by donations, sponsorships, and fundraisers. BPSG is not affiliated with any other foundation or religious organization.
One mission of the BPSG is to promote quality of life despite living with the challenges of Parkinson's. We host a support group meeting at The Fountains of Melbourne focused on various topics and by different guest speakers every 4th Thursday of the month. For locations, dates & topics of our upcoming meetings, see our Calendar and News blog.
Our non-profit is guided by a board of advisors who are professionals from Central and Southern Brevard County. Advisors are rotated and vote on financial matters.
