Paul Ruby Foundation Announces 'A Night Out' at the Herrington

Limited tickets are still available for The Paul Ruby Foundation for Parkinson’s Research dinner dance fundraiser on April 27 at the Herrington Inn & Spa in Geneva. Lisa Dent of US*99, America’s Country Music Station will act as emcee for the night. The night will feature the music of Robert Cornelius 7, as well as Chanson du Chat during the cocktail hour.  Robert Cornelius is a well-known musician in the Chicago area, who is the nephew of Soul Train founder, Don Cornelius.

Items for the auction include: a two-night stay for up to four people at a winery in a private guest house, including private tours and tastings at three wineries, a special Hearts of Fire diamond jewelry from State Street Jewelers, and one of the last cases of the highly rated 2007 Markham Winery Philanthropist, a single vineyard wine made in honor of the Paul Ruby Foundation.

“While we are pleased with the successes of Concert for a Cure for the past six years, we are ready to try something new that isn’t dependent on the weather. We are very excited to announce “A Night Out” and have a fun night while raising money to find a cure for Parkinson’s” says founder Paul Ruby.

The foundation’s proceeds go to Northwestern University’s Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center to support research on Parkinson’s research. To date, the foundation has raised over $500,000 for research, and projects supported have gone on to receive funding from the National Institutes of Health.
