Heat Up Hope is Closer Than You Think

Dinner and Community at Heat Up Hope

Join Parkinson’s Orange County on Saturday, September 19, 2026, for Heat Up Hope, an evening of dinner, live music, and connection in Mission Viejo. From 5–8 PM, we’ll bring our local Parkinson’s community together to share a meal, hear inspiring stories, and enjoy time with one another.


If you’re considering joining us, here’s what your ticket includes: a full Mexican dinner, live music, optional dancing, and stories from people in our Parkinson’s community. Tickets are $40 per person or $75 for two. You can also bring your support group or friends and reserve a table of eight for $300. Free parking is available on site; cash bar purchases are additional.


Your participation helps support Parkinson’s Orange County’s local support groups, educational programs, and resources for individuals living with Parkinson’s and their families. Heat Up Hope is also a chance to spend time with the people who make this community special and introduce someone new to POC.

Bring your care partner, a family member, or a friend, or join us on your own. We’ll help solo guests find a seat with welcoming people. Whether you’re reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting us for the first time, we’d love to welcome you.

Come as you are and enjoy the evening at your own pace.


We’ll gather at Orchard Terrace at the Norman P. Murray Community Center, 24932 Veterans Way, Mission Viejo.


With September 19 approaching, reserve your tickets and add Heat Up Hope to your calendar. If attending doesn’t fit your plans or budget this time, sharing the invitation with someone who might enjoy it is a welcome way to support our local Parkinson’s community.
