The Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s will host its Annual Gala, “Cause 4 Hope,” presented by Amicus Foundation, at 5:30 p.m. March 14, 2020 at Michael’s On East Ballroom, 1212 S. East Avenue, Sarasota.

Co-chairing this year’s event are Nola and Larry Hietbrink and Jo and Stan Rutstein. The event will honor Dean Sutherland, M.D. for his lifetime of dedication to the local Parkinson’s community and there will be an announcement of the Doreen Sutherland Memorial Fund.

The evening will include a cocktail reception in the atrium, a chance drawing and a masterfully prepared dinner in the ballroom followed by a live auction.
