History: Celebrate Spring was first conceived five years ago by G.Pennington Egbert III, his sister Missy Egbert Sheehan and their close friend Georgina B. Schaeffer.  The three, whose fathers both lived with Parkinson’s disease, joined together to create the Young New Yorkers for the Fight Against Parkinson’s committee, a group of nearly 100 New Yorkers dedicated to advancing a cure for Parkinson’s.  Each year the committee hosts Celebrate Spring, which has raised more than $300,000 since its inception. 

Proceeds will benefit PDF’s Côté Clinical Genetics Initiative http://www.pdf.org/grant_funding_fellow#cote, which supports research to identify and understand the role of genetic markers in Parkinson’s disease.
