michael1106.jpg

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease within the decade through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. The CW11's Emily Frances went to the foundation's benefit event last night at the Sheraton Hotel and gave us the scoop.

Approximately 1,000 guests, including Michael’s friends from television and film, joined New York’s business, social and financial leaders to raise significant funds for Parkinson’s research last night.

The host committee members included Tracy Pollan and Michael J. Fox, Phoebe Cates and Kevin Kline, Amanda Peet and David Benioff, and Helen and Martin Scorsese. Guests include Ryan Reynolds, Becki Newton and Chris Diamantopoulos. There was also a special musical performance by The Who.
