This year’s Stand Up for Parkinson’s is dedicated to Paul Farahvar’s father and the memory of past event host Joe Antonacci. Farahvar’s father, a retired orthopedic surgeon and former President of St. Mary’s Resurrection Hospital in Chicago, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2020, inspiring Paul to champion this cause. Antonacci, a beloved boxing ring announcer who transitioned to comedy, also received his Parkinson’s diagnosis in 2020. His brave journey with the disease and the role that comedy played in his life has left anindelible impact on the comedy community.
The Parkinson’s Foundation leads the charge in advancing research, raising awareness, and providing essential resources for those affected by Parkinson’s disease. By attending this event, you’ll be making a meaningful contribution to help patients and their families while enjoying a memorable night of humor and inspiration.
