Special Parkinson’s Event
Special community events in support of needy causes are part of the Values and Culture here at Lewis & Daggett. Sometimes these special causes are close to the hearts of our folks here. Support for Parkinson’s Disease research is one of these extra special causes.
Mrs. Brown with her four daughters on her birthday.
Karen Googe, our firm administrator, and her family fought Parkinson’s disease for many years with their late mother, Inez Brown. Mike Lewis’ mother-in-law has Parkinson’s and at 87 continues to be valiant in her fight. We have been fortunate to have known both of these ladies. We respect and admire the dignity these ladies have displayed in their fight, and in their lives.
Karen and Mike's families feel that education and research are a very important part of coping with this debilitating disease. For those who have never experienced anyone going through the stages of Parkinson’s, it can be quite overwhelming to the family if the effects of this disease have not been communicated properly.
Our L & D Team is supporting the efforts of A Touch of Class Beauty Salon in King, North Carolina to raise funds for the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in memory of Inez Matthews Brown. This special event will be held on Saturday November 22, 2008 at 513 South Main Street in King, North Carolina.
Tonya Wood, the owner of the salon and granddaughter of Mrs. Brown, will donate all proceeds of the day to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research. No appointments will be necessary - first come, first served with the salon opening at 9AM and remaining open until the last customer is served.
Lewis & Daggett will contribute free specially designed T-shirts, stadium cups, and other gifts for those who come to the salon during the event. Our firm has a special interest in this dreaded disease, and we are very happy to play a small role in this fund raising effort.
Please come out and join us in supporting this cause. For more information, call A touch of Class at 983-6446. Members of our firm will be at the event all day to lend support, encouragement, and a hand. We thank WXII 12, King Lawn and Garden, and Ad Color for joining us in our efforts.
