The Magic of Hope Gala & Auction is the American Parkinson Disease Association Northwest’s Chapter’s largest fundraiser of the year, with a goal of raising $600,000.
Join us at our new venue for a fun-filled night of cocktails, dinner, merriment and more! It's a festive gathering of the local Parkinson's community, with many ways to support the American Parkinson Disease Association, Northwest Chapter (APDA Northwest). Every dollar raised goes to provide the support, education, and research that will help everyone impacted by Parkinson's disease live life to the fullest!
Parkinson’s disease is the fastest growing neurological disorder, with an estimated 60,000 people living in the Northwest who are impacted by this progressive disease which has no cure.
APDA’s tagline is Strength in optimism. Hope in progress.
Our Magic of Hope 2025 theme is Strength - because strength is what unites us. There is STRENGTH in numbers, in compassion, and in the power of community. Strength isn’t just about the fight against Parkinson’s disease, it’s about the people who stand beside each other through every step of the journey. Together, we can amplify this strength, providing vital support, education, and resources to everyone impacted by PD.
