Five Reasons to Join Team Fox’s Young Professionals Network

Five Reasons to Join Team Fox’s Young Professionals Network 

The Team Fox Young Professionals (YPs) are proactive groups of individuals in their 20s and 30s who dedicate their time and ideas to help raise funds and awareness for Parkinson's research. From exercise classes to happy hours, YPs activate their networks through annual fundraisers and host educational events to update their communities on Foundation initiatives. All donations from the Young Professionals go directly to The Michael J. Fox Foundation's programs to cure Parkinson's disease.  

If you’re looking for a reason to join, we’ll give you five!  

1. Make a difference. Everyone who joins the YP network is helping the Foundation accelerate critical Parkinson’s research and bringing us one step closer to a world without PD. One hundred percent of the funds raised by the YPs goes straight to high-impact research programs.  
2. Expand your network. Whether you’re looking to connect with other like-minded, philanthropic individuals or network with peers from various industries, the Young Professionals groups offer something for everyone.   
3. Find personal purpose. Do you have a direct tie to the Parkinson’s community and want to take action on behalf of a loved one? Young Professionals contribute directly to Parkinson’s research by raising funds and awareness for The Michael J. Fox Foundation in their communities.   
4. Explore new opportunities. Our Young Professionals network consists of local groups of entrepreneurial and dedicated individuals. By joining other like-minded professionals, you can unlock new opportunities for personal and professional growth (and fun!).  
5. Build your resume. Showcase your leadership, compassion, and key characteristics that employers are looking for in their next candidate. By contributing to Team Fox’s Young Professionals network, you can set yourself apart and build critical skills to boost your resume.  

Our Young Professionals Networks are active in Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Nashville, New Orleans, NYC, and San Fransico. If you are not near one of our locations, there are more opportunities to get involved!
