A Funny 
Thing 
Happened ...
… when Michael J. Fox founded an organization to eradicate Parkinson’s disease. By flying 
in the face of convention in many ways, it became a fundraising powerhouse.
The MJFF team currently is excited about the prospect of a recent $50 million challenge gift from two consistent, high-dollar donors. It was announced at the end of May but is retroactive to Jan. 1, 2011, and will match new, lapsed and increased giving from donors at any level. Gifts from new and lapsed donors will be matched dollar for dollar, while current donors will have their increase amounts matched.
