Former Piston Helps Make Auction Success By Chuck Bennett / Special to The Detroit News SOURCE: DetNews.com, MI WWWeb: http://tinyurl.com/66crj Tuesday, November 23, 2004 SOUTHFIELD -- Former Detroit Pistons player Ray John Scott showed up at Park West Gallery on Saturday to personally sign a basketball for the silent auction. It went for $500. The auction was one of several crowd-pleasing events at A Night to Remember, a fund-raiser for Michigan Parkinson's Foundation. An estimated 150 people paid $150 each to enjoy an evening that also included a live auction, delightful food stations from Steve and Rocky's, a variety of fine wines and soft drinks, and a dessert and coffee reception. Parkinson's disease is a neurodegenerative condition that affects approximately 35,000 people in Michigan. Although Parkinson's disease most commonly affects people older than 60, it can occur as early as age 20.
