| Description |
On Thursday, April 29, 2010, the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s and the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) will hold its third annual Celebrate Spring event at Slate in New York City. Proceeds from the evening will help PDF continue its vital work of funding promising scientific research and supporting people with Parkinson’s, their families and caregivers through educational programs and support services.
G. Pennington Egbert III, Georgina B. Schaeffer and Missy Egbert Sheehan are the Chairmen. W. Alexander Budney, Daisy Prince and Hugh Chisholm, Jonathan E. Romero, Jr., Gregory and Barbara Romero, William B. Sheehan and Marisa and Walter Tomenson are the Vice Chairmen.
The idea for Celebrate Spring was conceived by Penn, his sister Missy, and their close friend Georgina. The three, whose fathers both lived with Parkinson’s disease, joined together to create the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s committee - a group of nearly 100 New Yorkers dedicated to advancing a cure for Parkinson’s.
The benefit will begin at 8 pm with cocktails and dancing with music provided by DJ Brenda Black. Support levels are as follows: Sponsorships at $5,000, $2,500, $1,250, $500 and $250; Tickets at $150.
