2025 MVP Awards

Each year, The Michael J. Fox Foundation proudly recognizes top fundraisers from the year prior during our annual MVP Celebration Weekend. And while this year's event may be over, we're keeping the momentum going by sharing even more highlights from 2024 — continuing to showcase the incredible impact made by you, our MVP fundraising community, in accelerating Parkinson’s research.

We can't thank you enough for showing the world that a future without Parkinson's is possible, because with your partnership, it's already started.

Thank you to the many members and teams who submitted their foxiest moments from 2024. Your spirit, smiles and accomplishments are infectious! 

As Team Fox MVPs, each of you has gone above and beyond — raising $10,000 or more to accelerate Parkinson’s research. But your impact doesn’t stop there. You are also leaders and role models in your communities, driving awareness and championing the urgency of this work every step of the way. We can't thank you enough for the passion and commitment you bring to The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s mission every day!

To every one of our 2025 MVPs — congratulations and thank you.

The Community Fundraising team is continually inspired by this extraordinary community. Each year, we’re moved by the stories of your dedication, creativity and impact. Starting with MVP 2023, we introduced storyboards at the event to help bring more of these stories to life — and we’re thrilled to continue that tradition in 2025. We invite you to explore this year’s storyboards and find inspiration in one another.

We believe every fundraiser deserves to be recognized. In addition to the storyboards, you’ll find your names and photos featured in our slideshow (linked under Photos) and in the event program. Forgot your copy? No problem — you can view it here.

To our MVP honorees,

We hope you enjoyed this year's MVP Celebration Weekend. While there's nothing quite like gathering in person, what inspires us most is the incredible work you lead all year long. Your creativity, determination and generosity continue to raise the bar — and thanks to you, 2024 was truly a year like no other.

Together, this community raised a record-breaking $53 million through the efforts of over 22,000 fundraisers. That impact is extraordinary — and it speaks volumes about what's possible when we come together with a shared goal.

Our staff and leadership remain your biggest cheerleaders, and we are deeply grateful for everything you do. Already, many of you are carrying this momentum into 2025 — but there's still so much ahead. 

As we look toward the second half of the year, there are ample opportunities for you to continue raising critical funds and awareness for Parkinson's research:
 

• Start Your Campaign. Inspired to host another event? Renew your registration today to launch your 2025 fundraising page.

• Support Local. Keep an eye on our Find an Event Calendar to discover fellow fundraisers in your area and events to attend or virtually support.

• Lace or Gear Up. Registration is open for MJFF's Run/Walk Series with locations across the country — and a virtual option for wherever you are.

Fundraising is just one of the many ways this community makes an impact. Whether you also join the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative — MJFF's landmark study for people with and without Parkinson's — or connect with others through the Parkinson's Buddy Network, your involvement drives us forward.

At The Michael J. Fox Foundation, we believe a world without Parkinson's is possible — and with your partnership, we're getting closer every day.

With deep gratitude,
Stephanie Paddock
VP, Head of Community Fundraising and Events
