A Wonderful Celebration in our City
This past Thursday, October 13th our community came together to Party in the City at The Studios at Overland Crossing.
During the cocktail and social hour, event guests threw darts to win gift cards at Pick-a-Palooza, tried their luck at Give-a-Guess, entered to win Denver B-Cycle baskets (filled with beverages and baked goods) and bid on some incredible silent auction items; many of which were contributed by our friends in the medical community. They also enjoyed music from the live band, Duck & Cover, while sipping the event's signature drink, a Denver Mule, and enjoying appetizers. After guests feasted on a delicious and festively fall themed meal and dessert, they played Heads & Tails for a chance to win a three-night stay at a beautifully renovated condo in Breckenridge and participated in a Live Auction complete with sporting event tickets and autographed items and some incredible getaways in Colorado. The party concluded with guests helping to celebrate our past 35 years and launch us into the next 35 years. The generosity, plus the additional contributions we received from those who were unable to attend, has ensured that the Association can continue to push boundaries and invest in life-changing programs which support, strengthen and empower our Parkinson's community. Your support means we have the funds to keep expanding our programs to under-served communities throughout Colorado for the remainder of 2016 and into the next year.
We are thankful to all those who joined us for this lively celebration. We are especially thankful to those who shared how the Parkinson Association has impacted their lives and the lives of those they love.

Let TabTime Help You Remember Your Meds
Every Parkinson's patient knows the importance of taking their pills and taking them right on time, but often times taking so many pills can slip ones mind. But now there's a tool that can help! TabTime has worked to create the first pill & medication timer reminder designed especially for Parkinson's patients.
Used & approved by Parkinson's organizations from Australia to Iceland and Canada to Russia the Super 8 offers Parkinson's patients the following outstanding benefits:
- Up to 8 daily audio and visual alarms at whatever time medication is required
- Alarms are automatically cancelled when the box is opened to take the medication
- Missed dose alert, the red flashing LED on the lid starts to blink at the same time as the audio alarm and remains blinking until the box is opened to take the medication! So if you take the box out of your pocket or purse and the red LED is flashing.... you have missed your last dose!
- 8 tablet compartments numbered 1-8 to correspond to the 8 alarms
- Easy to open magnetic fastening to assist those with weak or shaky hands
- Easy to use & easy to set, TabTime Super 8 remembers the time & alarm settings every day
- Extra large control buttons and clear LCD display
