Come as You Are to Heat Up Hope

This is a subtitle for your new post

You’re invited to spend Saturday, September 19, 2026, with Parkinson’s Orange County at Heat Up Hope

 

Whether you’re new to our community or already know a few familiar faces, there’s a place for you at the table.


Coming on your own can feel like a big step. We’ll help solo guests join a table with welcoming people, so you can settle in and start a conversation. Care partners, family members, and friends are welcome, too.


Appointments, energy levels, and everyday responsibilities can make planning an evening out complicated. Here’s the schedule to help you decide what works for you:

5:00 PM — Cocktails, live music, mingling

5:45 PM — Dinner & raffles

6:30 PM — Featured speakers: Mike Kimball, Joannie Rollins, Yuri Flaxbard + surprise speaker!

7:00 PM — Fund-A-Need, dessert & dancing


The evening concludes at 8 PM. Dancing is optional, and you’re welcome to stay seated, enjoy the live music, and spend time talking with the people at your table. Participate at your own pace.


Heat Up Hope takes place at Orchard Terrace at the Norman P. Murray Community Center, 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo. Free parking is available on site.


Tickets are $40 per person or $75 for two and include a full Mexican dinner and live music. Cash bar purchases are additional.


Questions before deciding? Email info@parkinsonsoc.org. We’d be happy to hear from you.


If you’ve been meaning to make a plan, take a moment to reserve your tickets and mark September 19 on your calendar. We look forward to sharing the evening with you.
