About Our Auction
Every day, someone around you—a friend, co-worker, or even family member—is living with the unique challenges of brain health degeneration and disability due to Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or Stroke.
Day One Fitness, a 501c3 organization, has been serving these individuals and their families in our community for over four years. Research has proven that, for those living with these conditions,
exercise is just as important as medication in slowing the progression of symptoms and helping to restore functionality. We are one of the only organizations in the area to provide programs designed to do just that: help fighters regain control of, or continue to go about their daily lives.
Birdies for Brain Health is our primary fundraising and awareness event held each year. This silent auction is part of that event, and all proceeds will benefit Day One Fitness outreach efforts and program development.
About Day One Fitness
Who We Are: We are a full-service 8,000 sq. ft. non-profit gym centered around non-contact boxing as a means to equip, challenge, and empower those living with Parkinson’s Disease, Alzheimer’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis or in stroke recovery.
What We Do: Using carefully crafted high-intensity workouts such as non-contact boxing, movement classes, balance, strength, and agility training, we seek to EMPOWER our “fighters” to live the best life possible.
Why It Matters: We all know exercise is important! But for those living with progressive neurological diseases shows that high-intensity exercise can actually slow the progression of symptoms. Targeted exercise programs during post-stroke have shown improved functional outcomes as well.
