Team Fox Swing for the Cure is pleased to announce our Fifth Annual Charity Golf Tournament—Swing for the Cure—supporting Parkinson’s Research.  Our event will be held at The Plantation Golf and Country Club (10500 Dartington Drive, Fort Myers, FL  33913), on January 26, 2017, registration starting at 7:30 am.

The Team’s mission is to continue to bring Parkinson’s awareness to Southwest Florida and to help find a cure by donating the much needed private funding.  As such, all net proceeds will be donated to Team Fox – the grassroots fundraising program at The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research (MJFF).  To date we have donated over $92,000 to the MJFF, and our goal this year is to raise $30,000.

Finding a cure drives our mission.  Your help is needed! Please commit to sponsoring this event. You can also help by making a financial donation directly to http://www2.michaeljfox.org/goto/swingforthecure. 

All net proceeds are donated to The Michael J. Fox Foundation; and in 2017; 100% all donations made by Team Fox members will go directly to research.  Checks and credit cards will receive a 501 (c) 3 receipt directly from the MJFF.

No one is immune to PD!  One person in every 500 suffers from Parkinson’s, with patients being diagnosed at the early age of 13.  In Southwest Florida alone there are over 10,000 people diagnosed with PD.  Parkinson’s is a chronic degenerative neurological disorder with no known cure.  Patients have different symptoms; however, sadly in the end, they all reach the same point of total incapacitation, until death. 

The MJFF is on the fast track to finding a cure and is making strides to improve the therapies for people not only living with PD but other neurological disorders.

Thank you for your consideration!

Regards,

Toni Palumbo
