CASUAL FRIDAY FOR A CAUSE
During your visit you may encounter employees wearing jeans. While this is not our normal dress code we have implemented “Casual Friday for a Cause”
January Casual Friday Campaign will benefit "The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research "
Though he would not share the news with the public for another seven years, actor, Michael J.Fox was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's disease in 1991. Upon disclosing his condition in 1998, he committed himself to the campaign for increased Parkinson's research.
The Michael J. Fox Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. Since 2000, The Michael J. Fox Foundation has funded more than $800 million to speed a cure for Parkinson's disease.
Parkinson's disease is a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder that affects one in 100 people over age 60. While the average age at onset is 60, people have been diagnosed as young as 18. Estimates of the number of people living with the disease vary, but recent research indicates that at least one million people in the United States, and more than five million worldwide, have Parkinson's disease.
