ROCKING AND LAUGHING
FOR A CURE
This past November, 1,000 MJFF supporters filled the Waldorf Astoria New York
ballroom for a night of special performances at A Funny Thing Happened on the Way
to Cure Parkinson’s, the Foundation’s annual gala. Music legend John Fogerty joined
Denis Leary, David Letterman and others in lending their talents to help raise more than
$5 million to support research. To date, Funny Thing has raised more than $65 million
to help speed a cure for Parkinson’s.
