The 2006 honoree, Benny Mardones, was diagnosed with Parkinson's four years ago. Since then, he has made it his mission to bring awareness to and provide support for Parkinson's research as well as other related charities. Benny has performed nationally for over two decades, and continues to sing for sold-out crowds. He has shared the stage with Fleetwood Mac, the Rolling Stones, and the Otis Redding Band; and has toured with Roy Orbison. Benny is continuing to write and record, just recently releasing a new full-length album entitled, Let's Hear it for Love . It is his first work of all-original material written solely by Mardones in over fifteen years. Thanks to the unwavering support of his fans in and around upstate New York, Benny thinks fondly of the area as his second home. Please join Benny and the Presbyterian Home for a day of fun, meet-and-greets and fund-raising to help support our Parkinson's residence and community outreach programs.
