$25,000, $15,000 and $10,000; Tickets at $1,000.
Every year, philanthropic leaders join together at Bal du
Printemps to help raise funds to support PDF’s research
programs as well as to honor outstanding members of the
community for their work against Parkinson’s. This event has
been cultivated over the years by Page Morton Black,
Chairman of the PDF Board and wife of the late William
Black, founder of Chock full o’Nuts, a successful New York
coffee and restaurant business, and creator of PDF.
The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation supports
research and ideas that will improve the lives and futures
of people touched by Parkinson’s. PDF was the first national
not-for-profit organization to focus on Parkinson’s disease.
Since its founding in 1957, PDF has invested $90 million in
the research of leading scientists around the world and has
committed an additional $37 million to support education and
advocacy programs.
