"In our thirteenth year, we are excited to once again host our version of a Charity Gala… a prom for adults at the Madison Monona Terrace! If you have yet to attend one of these fun evenings, you can expect a full dinner, included drinks, a large silent auction, free professional photos at the door, a 360 degree photo booth, music and dancing hosted by some of the best DJs in town, a diamond raffle and a large silent auction. Of course it’s a night of fundraising for our cause, but most remember the big party!" - Shana Verstegen

Huntington’s disease (HD) is a fatal genetic disorder that causes the progressive breakdown of nerve cells in the brain. It deteriorates a person’s physical and mental abilities during their prime working years and has no cure. Every child of a parent with HD has a 50/50 chance of inheriting the faulty gene. Today, there are approximately 41,000 symptomatic Americans and more than 200,000 at-risk of inheriting the disease. The symptoms of HD are described as having ALS, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s – simultaneously.
The Huntington’s Disease Society of America is the premier nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of everyone affected by HD. From community services and education to advocacy and research, HDSA is the world’s leader in providing help for today and hope for tomorrow for people with HD and their families. HDSA was founded in 1967 by Marjorie Guthrie, the wife of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. Woody died from HD complications when he was only 55 years old, but the Guthrie family legacy lives on at HDSA to this day.
