The second annual signature event honors Robin Muir, a longtime supporter of Parkinson’s Foundation and the local chapter
Who/What: Parkinson’s Foundation South Palm Beach County Chapter will host its signature event, the “Spring Soirée Gala,” at Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton on Saturday, March 30, 2019. 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. Last year’s “Sequins and Sparkle” Gala was enjoyed by over 150 guests and honored Foundation supporters Gail and Robert Milhous.
This year’s elegant evening will honor longtime supporter and Gulf Stream resident, Robin Muir. As an advocate for education, the underprivileged and the elderly, among many other charitable organizations, she has continuously demonstrated her unstoppable determination and inspiration. Robin had received numerous awards for her charitable commitments including the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office Fundraising Award, Save the Children Fund Award and Lion’s Club International Fundraising Award, to name a few. Aside from her dedication to the Parkinson’s Foundation, she has also devoted her time to the Robin Muir Family Foundation, Trustbridge Hospice Foundation, Boca Raton Regional Hospital, Gulf Stream School and the Order of St. John.
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. This year’s gala will be chaired by Pat Toppel.

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.
