LOUISVILLE, KY–– It’s time to break out your Denim & Bling for the 9th Annual Denim & Diamonds Gala on Friday, June 3rd at Locus Grove; benefiting the Parkinson Support Center of Kentuckiana.

The Parkinson Support Center is a grass roots non-profit organization that is dedicated to providing information, educational programs, support networks and exercise classes to individuals and their families affected by Parkinson’s disease in Kentucky and Southern Indiana.  Our goal is to help individuals with Parkinson’s maintain their independence and stay active in their communities so that they may enjoy the highest possible quality of life.

The Parkinson’s Support Center’s Denim & Diamonds Gala celebration raises money to help fund support groups, exercise programs, and educational sessions all aimed at improving the quality of life among those affected by Parkinson’s disease in our community.  “Denim and Diamonds is our largest annual fundraiser contributing to 40% of our annual budget.  This fundraiser is not only a chance to raise awareness for Parkinson’s disease, but it is an opportunity for the community to show support and raise money in a fun way.  The funding from this event is instrumental in enabling the center to provide our programs and services to those navigating life with Parkinson’s and their families.”  Bobbi Cain, Resource Development Coordinator.

Revelers will have a chance to kick back in a country- chic atmosphere with live music with Artie Dean Harris & Bourbontown.
