Donating a portion of proceeds of a product or service or hosting an event through your business is an effective way to raise awareness, incorporate philanthropy into your business model and connect with a community of fundraisers.

Our Team Fox community is full of passionate entrepreneurs leveraging their businesses to help speed a cure for Parkinson's disease.
The Bunny Who Lost Her Hop
Tamara Zanvardine wrote and published The Bunny Who Lost Her Hop, a children’s book inspired by her diagnosis of early-onset Parkinson’s, and donates a portion of book proceeds to Team Fox. “I’m passionate about partnering with The Michael J. Fox Foundation, as it provides a positive outlook and hope for the future, with the ultimate goal of finding a cure,” says Tamara.
Juddo the Guitarist
Living with Parkinson’s, Jud Weidner channels his creativity into painting guitars — unique works of art he sells to support Team Fox. The process not only raises critical funds but also helps ease his symptoms.
Wyatt's Waterfowl Co
Wyatt Bradley began selling paracord duck call lanyards in 2022 at just 9 years old. As demand grew, he taught his family to help. When he designed a unique duck call whistle, his dad helped refine it, creating something special for the hunting community. Now, they donate a portion of proceeds to Team Fox. “My mentor has Parkinson’s, and I know how it affects him. That’s why I’m passionate about finding a cure,” says Wyatt.
Donaldson Farms
Inspired by loved ones navigating the challenges of Parkinson’s — and the hope and support The Michael J. Fox Foundation provides — Donaldson Farms selected Team Fox as a featured cause for its 2024 season.
Newport Rib Company
To celebrate 40 years as a family-owned and operated restaurant and to thank the community that has supported them, Newport Rib Company selected Team Fox as one of its featured charities in 2024. “Finding a cure for Parkinson’s is personal for us — our matriarch has lived with it for 12 years. We’ve seen firsthand how the work of the Foundation has prolonged her quality of life,” says Laura Ursini Marroquin, Community Relations & Catering Manager.
University of Rhode Island
Each spring, the University of Rhode Island Greek Life hosts “Greek Week,” and in 2024, they chose to support Team Fox for its impact on Parkinson’s research and personal significance to their community.
