For many years the graduate students of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon, organized the Jog for Jim to honor Jim Warsaw, and create awareness for Parkinson disease and support Team Fox. For the 2nd year in a row we are partnering with the Jog for Jim students to help raise funds for Team Fox and the Michael J. Fox Foundation through the Eugene Marathon 5K! A portion of your registration fee goes directly to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. Together with the support of individual pledges we hope to raise $25,000! Visit the 5K webpage for more details on registration and our partnership with Team Fox.
