3rd Annual Team Kopacz Golf Tournament (2020)
3rd Annual Team Kopacz Golf Tournament:
One bright spot of 2020 was that we found a Friday in July to have our 3rd Annual golf tournament. We made many changes to ensure everyone’s safety while continuing our mission to support the Parkinson’s community. We are extremely humbled by the support that we have received in three short years of the tournament. In the midst of the pandemic we raised $13,000 of which we split between the Michael J Fox Foundation and the University of MN. Team Kopacz has raised over $85,000 over the last 3 years! AMAZING! Thank you to everyone that supported us near and far.

In sports you often hear about the ‘sophomore slump’ or in music the ‘one hit wonder’ but as we kicked off the 2nd annual TKO Golf Tournament we believed in our message and delivered another successful event. Despite the extreme heat we stood eye to eye with PD and won the day!

- Of which $18,000 went to Team Fox and the other $18,000 to the University of MN Neurology department to kick off a new program that supports and educates the newly diagnosed about the benefits of exercise.
- Danielle D, Team Fox, rolled up her sleeves and helped us set-up in the morning, supported throughout the day and then delivered an optimistic message for a future without PD!
- Dr. Paul Tuite, Univ of MN and Jason’s neurologist spoke about the work being done to support people with PD until the day a cure is found.
- Kristi surprised Jason with a special video message from Jimmy Choi! Jimmy is one of the many YOPD’ers we have meet through the Michael J Fox Foundation.
