Guests sparkled in gorgeous gowns and sophisticated suits on April 7 at Michael’s On East for Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s annual fundraising gala.

A Night Under the Stars transformed the Michael’s ballroom into a twinkling evening sky under which, rather than stargazing, guests mingled, enjoyed dinner and bid on several live auction items featuring everything from a seven-night Hilton Head Island getaway to a South African safari package.

Neuro Challenge Executive Director Robyn Faucy also used the evening to make a special announcement: Neuro Challenge is currently organizing a day-long Parkinson’s expo that will be on April 14, 2018 at Robarts Arena. More than 2,000 people are expected to attend, and they’ll learn about the latest in Parkinson's treatment options, research, management techniques and more.
