Tickets are $35 per person and includes a two course meal and entertainment. Proceeds from the dinner go to the Duchenne Foundation to fund research for a cure and to support sufferers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is the most common form of muscular dystrophy affecting 1 in 3,500 live born males in all races. It is caused by a mutation of a gene on the X chromosome, which provides the instruction for the production of the protein Dystrophin. This protein is located inside the muscle cell membrane. When it is absent the muscle cells collapse and die and Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy develops.
