Fundraise
Team Fox members have raised nearly $80 million for Parkinson's research since 2006. You too can be part of this passionate community of change-makers who are bringing us closer to a cure.
Team Fox is the grassroots community fundraising program of The Michael J. Fox Foundation. Since 2006, Team Fox members worldwide have been turning their passions and interests into opportunities to raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's research. Every penny donated by Team Fox members goes straight to our high-impact research programs to help speed a cure for Parkinson's disease.
Who is Team Fox?
A community of over 5,500 individuals who have become dedicated change-makers in their community.
What does Team Fox do?
Team Fox members give 100 percent. Literally. Thanks to the support of anonymous donors who underwrite Team Fox program expenses, 100 percent of Team Fox proceeds go directly to the Foundation's programs to speed a cure for Parkinson's disease.
"Have you ever noticed that optimism, energy and generosity are contagious? There's something about watching someone you know take on a cause that makes you want to get involved too. That's the big idea behind Team Fox."
