Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s and the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation
04/29/2010 - By Slate

Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s and  the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation

On Thursday, April 29, 2010, the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s and the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) hosted its third annual Celebrate Spring event at Slate in New York City.

Nearly 300 supporters of Young New Yorkers and the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation attended. 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 were 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 were 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 began at 8 pm with cocktails and dancing with music provided by DJ Brenda Black.

The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation is a leading national presence in Parkinson’s disease research, education and public advocacy. Created by William Black, the founder of Chock full o’Nuts, a successful New York coffee and restaurant business, PDF was the first national not-for-profit organization to focus on Parkinson’s disease. PDF is working for nearly one million people in the US living with Parkinson’s by funding promising scientific research and supporting people with Parkinson’s, their families and caregivers through educational programs and support services. Since its founding in 1957, PDF has funded over $80 million worth of scientific research in Parkinson’s disease, supporting the work of leading scientists throughout the world.
