Double Your Impact in the Fight for a Cure:
Join the Team Fox Challenge!
The Michael J. Fox Foundation has just launched the Team Fox Challenge, designed to inspire new and returning Team Fox members to raise an additional $1 million for critically needed Parkinson’s research . The Challenge was made possible by a $1-million anonymous gift from the family of a member of the Foundation’s Board of Directors.
The goal of the challenge is to grow Team Fox by enrolling new members and inspiring current members, who are already on track to raise an astounding $5 million be the end of 2008, to go above and beyond what they’ve already accomplished in the fight for a cure. All donations generated by Team Fox members new to the program this year or in 2009 will be counted toward the $1-million challenge goal. For 2008 or 2009 returning members of Team Fox, any funds raised above and beyond their previous calendar year total will count toward the challenge.
I am inspired on a daily basis by all that Team Fox members have accomplished in only two and a half years,” said Michael J. Fox. “The Foundation’s goal is to put itself out of business, and this incredible group of individuals is on the front lines of our efforts to make PD a thing of the past. I can’t thank them enough.”
