Page Morton Black was honored by the Parkinson's Disease Foundation at the annual Bal du Printemps Gala at the Pierre. Page, its chairman - who is better known for popularizing the Chock Full o'Nuts coffee jingle - pledged to her late husband, William Black, that she would continue his work to find the cause and cure for Parkinson's disease.

Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-NY) extolled Page for her tremendous work and dedication in finding a cure for Parkinson's.
    Fox 5 News anchor Ernie Anastos and weatherman Nick Gregory emceed the event. Herbert Pardes, M.D., president and CEO of Presbyterian Hospital, was given the Page and William Black Humanitarian Award. The evening raised $600,000 for the organization's continuing cause.
