With years of dedicated service to the Parkinson’s community, Steve Fischlin and Lisa Inselman co-founded FISCH 4 Parkinson’s, a Steve J Fischlin Charity in 2024. The charity advocates for Parkinson’s patients, caregivers, and families by raising funds, building community, and bolstering awareness that helps patients live to their highest potential every day.

Steve was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in late 2018 after experiencing tremors on his right side. In 2020, Steve retired from Raley’s as the Director of Merchandising after 41 years of service to concentrate on his health.  The Parkinson’s community reminds Steve that he is not alone and provides encouragement, inspiration, and the desire to keep moving. Steve is grateful for his friends and family, especially his wife, children, grandchildren, and parents.  They are battling PD together.  Steve moves every day with the support of friends and family by walking, hiking, golfing, pickleball and yoga.   

Steve’s wife Lisa, retired from Raley’s as VP and Controller in 2023 after 23 years of service.  Together Steve and Lisa love to travel in their RV, traveling abroad, and spending quality time with friends and family.
 
Their inaugural event in 2024 was FORE Parkinson’s Golf Tournament on August 5, 2024, at Valley Hi Country Club in Elk Grove, CA. With support of friends and family, FISCH 4 Parkinson’s was able to donate over $26K to the Parkinson’s Foundation.

In 2025 FISCH 4 Parkinson’s Golf Tournament was held at Catta Verdera Country Club on August 11, 2025. Together with the support of golfers, sponsors, volunteers and friends, the tournament raised $35,400 in support of the Parkinson’s Foundation.

Why we are Passionate About Supporting the Parkinson’s Foundation?
Living with Parkinson’s disease presents many challenges. Yet, amid the uncertainty, Steve and Lisa have found purpose, hope, and a sense of community through FISCH 4 Parkinson’s supporting the Parkinson’s Foundation.
 
Supporting the Parkinson’s Foundation gives them a sense of belonging to a movement that is larger than just them. Whether through fundraising, community events, or online education, they are a part of a network of advocates, researchers, clinicians, and families determined to change the trajectory of Parkinson’s.
 
Two pillars stand out as the foundation of Steve and Lisa’s commitment: the Parkinson’s Center of Excellence in Sacramento at UC Davis, and the innovative PD GENEration program. Together, they represent the cutting edge of care, discovery, and empowerment for people with Parkinson’s like Steve. The Center of Excellence in Sacramento at UC Davis is a beacon of multidisciplinary expertise, innovation, and hope, while PD GENEration opens new doors for personalized medicine and scientific discovery.
 
Through both programs, they have found hope, empowerment, and connection. Steve and Lisa’s journey with Parkinson’s is ongoing, but with the partnership between the Parkinson’s Foundation and FISCH 4 Parkinson’s, they are not alone.  Steve and Lisa are a part of a community dedicated to making a difference.
