Tonight’s Honorees
Don & Maura Horton
Dear Friends, We are thrilled to have you as our guests tonight at The Magic of Hope: 12th Annual Gala & Auction benefiting the Washington Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association. The hope in our gala theme permeates our organization. For the people living with Parkinson’s disease that we serve, APDA Washington’s network of donors, board members, and community members ultimately provide the feeling of hope necessary to live better with Parkinson’s, until we find a cure. With your help, tonight’s gala can create hope for the Parkinson’s community in Washington State. APDA Washington is proud that every dollar you spend tonight will go entirely toward funding effective programs and services that help to “Ease the Burden and Find the Cure” for Parkinson’s disease. So please enjoy the evening—the fabulous food and wine, the fun, the people—and know that every time you bid, buy or contribute toward the Fund-a-Need, you will truly be making a difference. Thank you for being a part of The Magic of Hope! Sincerely,
Kristi Murphy Executive Director
We are so pleased to honor Don Horton, career college football coach whose players include Seahawk Super Bowl Champion, Russell Wilson, and his wife Maura Horton. Don was diagnosed with Early Onset Parkinson’s disease at the age 48. Don’s wife Maura recently launched the clothing company MagnaReady to offer an alternative to a button up dress shirt for her husband and those who have the challenge of limited dexterity. After a football game, coach Horton, who had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s but had not yet disclosed his health challenge to his team, struggled to button up his dress shirt in time to catch a team plane. Russell Wilson, who noticed his frustration, quietly went over and finished buttoning up his shirt for his coach. When Don returned home that night, he told his wife of his embarrassment, difficulty and Russell Wilson’s kind gesture. This event is what spurred Maura to create MagnaReady - a button down dress shirt that uses magnets in place of buttons. Don and Maura live in North Carolina with their two girls Hayes and Hadley Ellison.

Most silent auction items have a “Guaranteed Purchase” bid amount designated. By signing your bid number in this box, the bidding on this item closes and the item is yours.
LIVE AUCTION The Live Auction will begin during dinner and will continue without intermission until all items have been auctioned. To enter a bid, the bidder signals either the auctioneer or one of the spotters with a bid card. Use only the number assigned to you. The auctioneer will determine the successful bidder. PLEASE NOTE:
