The Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s annual Cause 4 Hope gala had a theme of “Kaleidoscope: A Multifaceted Gala,” and aside from being a colorful and inspirational evening, the April 20 event served up several interactive experiences to make it just that.
More than 300 guests at Michael’s On East enjoyed performances by the Sarasota Ballet, Key Chorale and a live painting by artist Debbie Dannheiser.
Aside from celebrating the arts, the partnerships also helped exemplify how Neuro Challenge provides a variety of services and programs to enrich and improve the lives of those with Parkinson’s disease.
Co-chaired by Aimee Chouinard and Terry McKee, the evening raised money for the many programs Neuro Challenge provides and also welcomed a special guest, Neuro Challenge founder Dr. Dean Sutherland.
