Geist, co-anchor of NBC News’ “Today” and co-host of
MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” will be the Master of Ceremonies for

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.
The evening will honor PDF

fundraisers who have collectively raised $2.4 million since
the program’s inception. Jill

M.D., Ph.D., Isobel Robins Konecky and Arlene
Levine are
the Gala
Co-Chairs.
The evening will begin with a cocktail
reception at 6:30 PM followed by dinner and dancing at 7:30
PM. Support levels are as follows: Tables at $100,000,
$50,000, $25,000 and $12,500; Tickets at $2,500, $1,250 or
$350 (under age 40).
The
Parkinson’s Disease Foundation supports
the research and ideas that will improve the lives and
futures of people touched by Parkinson’s. Founded in 1957
by William
Black, creator 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. His widow Page Morton Black served as
PDF’s Chairman for more than 20 years. Since its founding, PDF has
invested nearly $110 million in the research of leading
scientists around the world and has committed an additional
$47 million to support education and advocacy programs.
