Larry donates to many nonprofit organizations, but one that consistently stands out in his portfolio is the Bauchmann-Strauss Dystonia and Parkinson Foundation. Since 1995, the BSDPF has primarily focused its efforts on finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease, raising over $35 million in the process to fund 235 research grants relating to genetics, drug discovery, and overlap between dystonia and Parkinson. In 2015, BSDPF will channel its focus away from its regular grant making program and instead toward its collaborative research alliance with The Michael J. Fox Foundation to strengthen public awareness and recognize important discoveries.
