The Parkinson’s Disease Foundation hosted
its annual Bal du Printemps gala at The Pierre,
MC’d by Good Day New York’s Rosanna Scotto.
Guests were treated to a surprise sneak preview
of RKO Pictures’ A Late Quartet, the new
movie starring Philip Seymour Hoffman,
Catherine Keener, and Christopher Walken.
The film, which follows a world-renowned
string quartet as one of its members struggles
with Parkinson’s disease, served as a reminder
of the evening’s true focus: to advocate for
Parkinson’s research and honor outstanding
members of the community for their work
against the disease.
Isobel Konecky was honored with the Page
and William Black Humanitarian Award.
Chairs included Kyle W. Blackmon, Margo
Catsimatidis, Jill Taub Drury, Stephanie Goldman-Pittel,
Karen Burke Goulandris, Stevi Gurkoff, and Arlene Levine.
This event has been cultivated
over the years under the leadership
of Page Morton Black, chairwoman
of the PDF board and wife
of the late William Black, founder
of Chock full o’Nuts and creator of
PDF. The elegant evening raised
more than $550,000 for PDF’s
research programs.
