Supporting Rise Above Parkinsons Inc.
Rise Above Parkinsons Inc is a local, public 501c3 organization based in Trinity, Florida. It provides much-needed assistance to Florida’s Tampa Bay area residents living with Parkinson’s Disease.
In addition to the 90,000 people nationwide who are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease each year, Florida has the highest percentage of people afflicted with Parkinson’s. The disease does not discriminate by age, race or gender.
Rise Above Parkinsons helps local Floridians battling Parkinson’s afford the medications, therapies, assistive devices, and more that can greatly improve quality of life, allowing them to live as safely and independently as possible. Rise Above's assistance provides much needed relief to both the patient and the patient’s loved ones.
The organization is 100 percent volunteer-run, so nearly every dollar goes directly to the Florida Parkinson’s community.
Thank you for joining us and supporting our mission.

All brackets are limited to 8 teams maximum, divided into 2 pools of 4. Each pool will play the other teams in their pool round robin style, guaranteeing each team at least 3 matches.

Brackets are based on age and skill. Skill levels are 2.5, 3.0, 3.5, and 4.0+. Age divisions are All Ages and Senior 60+.
Each team must play at the skill level of the higher rated player and the age of the younger player. We will be using self-rating: PLEASE BE COURTEOUS TO OTHERS AND ACCURATELY RATE YOURSELF.
