When Jo Beth Barr, the owner of Ooh La La Boutique in Carnegie, contemplated her 60th birthday celebration, she decided to do it up big. After moving her boutique to Carnegie last year, she is thrilled with the way the community has supported her.
As a board member of the Myasthenia Gravis Association of Western PA, and as someone with MG herself, she wanted to use her birthday as a reason to raise support and awareness for the disease. She invites everyone to join her on Saturday, January 28, 2017 from 7 - 11p.m. at Cefalo’s in Carnegie for The Purple Party.
Admission of $60 per person includes valet parking, heavy hors d’oeuvres, delicious desserts, a special Purple Party cocktail, dancing to live music by the “Under the Covers” band, a chance to win one of 60 fabulous prizes, and much more! Guests who wear purple will also be entered into a free drawing for a special prize.
Myasthenia Gravis is a chronic autoimmune neuromuscular disease causing serious weakness of the voluntary muscles. MG has no known cause or cure, but there is hope through continued research and treatment. For more information about MG or The Purple Party, please call 412-566-1545 or visit mgawpa.org.
