Pour for Parkinsons

Pour a drink to fundraise for the Victoria Epilepsy and Parkinson’s Centre.

Bruce Jordan, who was diagnosed with Parkinson’s on his daughter’s first day of kindergarten, contacted VEPC and joined a newcomers group. A few years later in 2007, the Jordans hosted a benefit event for the centre at their newly opened Sea Cider Farm & Ciderhouse. On Tuesday they’ll host the Third Annual Pouring for Parkinson’s — an opportunity to enjoy a relaxed evening of cider, live music, and hors d’oeuvres with silent auction while raising funds and awareness for the VEPC.

Pouring for Parkinson is Tuesday, November 10 from 6 to 9 p.m. at 2487 Mt. St. Michael Rd. Call 250-544-4824 for tickets; $35 each or $60 with a $25 tax receipt.

For more information contact Dionne Jennings at 250-584-4824 or dionne@seacider.ca. For more about VEPC visit www.vepc.bc.ca.
