Don’t miss the 7th annual Box4Bucks fitness challenge being held on October 19, 2024 from 8AM-11:30AM.

NEW LOCATION! Box4Bucks keeps growing. We needed a larger, air conditioned facility. The Valley of the Sun JCC volunteered to host the event this year and we are grateful. You will enjoy their fantastic facilities.

***BRING YOUR ID: The JCC requires you show an ID at the security desk in order to enter the building if you are not a member.

What is Box4Bucks?

Box4Bucks is a Team Fox fundraiser.  The money raised goes directly to the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s research. It is a fun and challenging event that brings the Parkinson’s community together for a morning of activities, competition, excitement, friendship/community and a good cause. This year’s event will include:

• Register for the event as an individual or as a team of four (4)
• Teams of four (4) will compete in 10 fitness challenges in a circuit type format utilizing the J’s basketball floor.
• If you have a coach, instructor, trainer, they are encouraged to come and help.
• The list of 10 exercises will be provided prior to the event so you can practice and work with your coaches on getting competitive ready.
• Prizes awarded to the top three (3) teams in each category.
• The ever more popular DocBox.

DocBox is one of the most popular activities each year. It is a 30-minute challenge auction where neurologists and other healthcare professionals treating Parkinson’s disease will be in the boxing ring ready to perform challenging fitness exercises. The audience can bid any amount (minimum of $20) on any “Doc” to do any reasonable count of an exercise. This is very fun for the doctors and, especially, Box4Bucks attendees. Which doctor will raise the most money and become this year’s TopDoc? Join us to find out who wins.

Don’t miss DocBox and bring some auction money – it all goes to finding a cure!
