Putting Portion of Proceeds toward Parkinson’s Research

Team Fox members are putting their business savvy to work in order to speed a cure for Parkinson's disease. Many members of our community are using portion of proceeds campaigns to engage their networks in supporting vital Parkinson's disease research programs. Here are a few recent clothing-based portion of proceeds fundraisers to inspire you:

Bakdrop is an online retailer of custom socks designed by artists around the world. This month, Bakdrop is showcasing a pair of limited edition Team Fox crew socks with 25 percent of proceeds benefitting MJFF. The Team Fox crew socks will be on sale for a short period of time from March 7 to March 13 — so snag a pair while you can!

New to Team Fox in 2015, Anna Scolaro hosted a ladies lunch and shopping afternoon on February 10 at Dolce & Gabbana in London to support those living with Parkinson's. Anna's afternoon of shopping with friends raised $5,000 for Parkinson's research after Dolce & Gabbana donated 10 percent of the sales made during the event!

Do you like a good throwback tee? Check out Homage and their time rewinding designs that pay tribute to pop culture, sports and Team Fox. Homage created the "OCT 21 2015" Back to the Future t-shirt as a way to give back to the Foundation. Ten percent of proceeds will be donated to MJFF and they've already raised more than $1,750 to date!

GracedbyGrit is a women's fitness apparel brand that empowers their customers to host "Fit Shops" to raise proceeds for a cause of their choice. GracedbyGrit chose The Michael J. Fox Foundation as the beneficiary of their Holiday Trunk Show in Solana Beach, CA on December 3, 2015. 20 percent of proceeds from the apparel purchased that evening were donated to Team Fox!
