After a brief rain shower as our Party got underway, and a gorgeous rainbow, we had a beautiful night! Over 250 people enjoyed fabulous food, beverage options, the silent auction, and of course, Weekend Weather Band under the big tent out back. We were even blessed to have special visitors from The Michael J. Fox Foundation here with us, Veronique and Mod, to cheer us on! The DeLorean dried off (thanks to Michael) and those who wanted to posed for a picture, which was printed on site thanks to Neil and Tim; a picture that our guests could then take home with them. Our Volunteers helped throughout the day and the evening to set the stage for a fantastic event that looks to be coming close to $30,000 in raised monies for Parkinson's awareness, research and patient support!
We're still accepting donations and purchases of the remaining unsold silent auction items, so in a few more days, we'll be able to finalize the numbers and confirm that our goal is met :) Yay!! So fun, so rewarding. Thanks to all of our Sponsors and all of our In-Kind Sponsors; to all of you who donated to this effort even though you couldn't attend, and then thanks to those who came to help us celebrate the possibility of life without PD.
Thank you!! Jim & Beth Murray
Soon, more pictures will be posted of the band, our guests, and the Party! Go here to view the DeLorean photo shoot:
