The John Arena Foundation is a non profit program dedicated to creating and providing empowering culinary experiences and activities for people living with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological conditions that affect movement.

Through this initiative The World Pizza Champions team has joined with the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center For Brain Health in devising cooking activities such as pizza making classes and social activities designed to give PD patients and their caregivers new skills and a continued sense of active engagement.

By promoting hands on activities for patients that are facing neurological challenges, the John Arena Foundation can dramatically slow the progression of many degenerative movement disorders and enhance the lives of patients and their families.
