Houston Area Parkinson Society’s Annual Awards Gala

The 2018 Annual Awards Gala benefitting Houston Area Parkinson Society will be Sunday, Oct. 21, 2018 at The Astorian. This year’s Event Chairs are Anne and Stuart Coco and Young Professional Chairs are Calia and Peter Pettigrew. Guests will enjoy a casual chic evening including a live and silent auction, music, cocktails and more.

Funds raised at the event will further HAPS’ mission to improve the quality of life for those affected by Parkinson's disease through services, education and advocacy. For more than 40 years, HAPS has offered free therapeutic exercise and support groups, social services, education, transportation, emergency financial aid and subsidized respite care to families affected by Parkinson’s in eight Houston-area counties. Proceeds from the Gala help fund these critical services.

This year HAPS is announcing a newly established award in tribute to George H. W. Bush in honor of the enormous contributions he has made to our society, and in recognition of his brave and optimistic approach to a life changed by vascular parkinsonism.
