The 10th Anniversary
of Celebrate
Spring New York will
take place on Wednesday, April 5, 2017 at Lavo located at 39
East 58th Street
between Madison and Park Avenues. The
event is hosted by the Young
New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s and
the Parkinson’s
Disease Foundation (PDF), a division of the Parkinson’s
Foundation. Proceeds
from the evening will support
the Foundation’s research programs.

Celebrate Spring New York was
founded by G.
Pennington Egbert III, his sister Missy
Egbert Sheehan and
their close friend Georgina
B. Schaeffer whose
fathers both lived with Parkinson’s disease. This
core group joined together to engage
the next generation of philanthropists, by
creating the Young
New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s committee,
a network of nearly 100 New Yorkers dedicated to advancing a
cure for Parkinson’s. Each
year the committee hosts Celebrate
Spring New York, which has raised over $750,000
since its inception and has brought countless young
supporters into the fold to help fund the work of future
leaders in Parkinson’s research and care.
The event will begin at 8:00 PM with cocktails, hors
d’oeuvres, a live auction and dancing, with music provided
by DJ
Brenda Black. Support levels are as follows:
sponsorships at $5,000, $2,500, $1,250, $500, $475 and $250
and individual tickets at $175.
The Parkinson’s
Foundation is
working toward a world without Parkinson’s disease. Formed
by the merger of National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) and the
Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF) in August 2016, the
mission of the Parkinson’s Foundation is to invest in
promising scientific research that will end Parkinson’s
disease and improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s and
their families, through improved treatments, support and the
best care.
