More that 640 community leaders, patrons of Evergreen Healthcare, leading physicians and executives from top local companies gathered in a climate-controlled tent at Marymoor Park March 14 for a sold-out Annual Evergreen Gala.

The party, which raised more than $800,000, will benefit the Evergreen Neuroscience Institute. The Institute has become an internationally-known destination for people seeking the latest in diagnostic, therapeutic and rehabilitative services for a wide variety of neurological disorders and diseases. The Neuroscience Institute includes the Multiple Sclerosis Center, the Booth Gardner Parkinson’s Care Center and the Evergreen Stroke Center.
