The seventh annual Kickin' Parkinson's, which was held at Stone Creek Club and Spa on Sept. 22, raised $381,700 for the Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF), achieving a total of $1,020,000 in three years. The fundraiser is one of the top three in the nation, and the three year million dollar goal is a record-breaker.

Arriving guests posed by a cutout of Michael J. Fox standing by a DeLorean Time Machine car from the "Back to the Future" film. The fundraiser featured live music by The Molly Ringwalds, food from more than 25 restaurants and specialty drinks. Auction emcee Doug Ferrer offered up coveted items for bids, and guests penciled in names at silent auction tables. An effervescent "Boots and Bubbles" VIP reception preceded the main event.

Kickin' Parkinson's founders Quentin and Penny Dastugue welcomed MJFF Co-Founder/Executive Vice President Debi Brooks, who led a round table discussion the following morning focused on medical breakthroughs in the quest for a cure for Parkinson's Disease.

Along with the Dastugues, committee members were Susan Bopp, Scott Boudreaux, Mary Lee Caldwell, Larry Conner, Paul Dastugue, Susanne Cambre Dwyer, Marvin Gresse, Vickie Guarisco, Steve Jacobs, Begona Landry, Steve Landry, Paul Langenwalter, Diane LaPlace, Byron LeBlanc, Sue Meyer, Laura Miles, Pratt Provosty, Stacey Rase, Steven Reisig, Jennifer Rice, Bridgette Taylor, Richard Taubin and Laine Thomas. Team Fox Louisiana affiliate of the MJFF has the mission of providing life-changing treatments and ultimately a cure for Parkinson's Disease.
