Who/What:
Parkinson’s Foundation South Palm Beach County Chapter will host its first signature event, the “Sequins and Sparkle Gala,”at Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton on April 14, 2018. The night is dedicated to celebrating the vision of Parkinson’s Foundation to make life better for those living with Parkinson’s Disease by educating and empowering the Parkinson’s community.
The Gala will honor Gail and Robert Milhous, longtime supporters of Parkinson’s Foundation. “Gail, whose mother lived with Parkinson’s Disease, has served on the National Board of Directors for eight years,” said Robin Miller, executive director. “She also cares deeply about our local community, seeing that every dollar raised here is well spent in our local community helping the PD constituents and their families.”
There will be cocktails and fine dining, music and dancing with the Dan Beck Band, South Florida’s top dance band, as well as live and silent auctions.
The chairs of this event are Mary Ann Milhous, Joni Scalvo, Robin Muir and Pam Polani. “We are incredibly fortunate to have each of these four ladies chairing our first signature gala,” said Miller. “They have a variety of interests and vision in this community.

About Parkinson’s Disease
Affecting an estimated one million Americans and 10 million worldwide, PD is the second-most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s and is the 14th-leading cause of death in the United States. It is associated with a progressive loss of motor control (e.g., shaking or tremor at rest and lack of facial expression) as well as non-motor symptoms (e.g., depression and anxiety). There is no cure for PD and 60,000 new cases are diagnosed each year in the United States alone.
