Parkinson’s Foundation Heartland Chapter – Parkinson’s Prohibition
The second annual Parkinson’s Prohibition was held on October 25th at the KCP&L Building. Kelly Kehrees and Blake Nelson were the co-chairmen. Trisha Brauer served as the auctioneer, and Neal Jones was the emcee. Partygoers enjoyed craft cocktails, a delightful buffet, the music of The Gatsby Gang, a raffle, and a live auction. Proceeds support the Parkinson’s Foundation Heartland Chapter’s mission to make life better for people with Parkinson’s disease by improving care and advancing research toward a cure.
