Thanks to the incredible support of more than 400 guests, volunteers, and donors, a tremendous $110,679 was raised to help transform the way Parkinson’s care is provided at our recent Garden Party & Auction. Thank you to our donors for your amazing generosity!
On Saturday, September 26th, more than 200 guests gathered for a lovely event at theUniversity of Washington Botanic Gardens for a lively silent auction with over 80 great items, an exciting live auction with auctioneers Dick & Sharon Friel, and a moving program emceed by FOX Sports Northwest's Brad Adam. Especially inspiring were presentations from special guests Booth Gardner, Tom Berger, Jim Marsh and Don Moody. It was indeed a fantastic event that has taken the Parkinson’s Project to the next level.
