CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL J. FOX

ON RECEIVING

THE 2026 LASKER-BLOOMBERG PUBLIC SERVICE AWARD

On September 9, 2026, Michael J. Fox received the 2026 Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award recognizing his extraordinary contributions to advancing Parkinson's Research, through scientific entrepreneurialism, courageous activism, community mobilization, and philanthropic humanitarianism.

Widely recognized as America’s preeminent biomedical research prize, the Lasker Awards are among the most prestigious honors in science and medicine — more than 100 Lasker Laureates have also received the Nobel Prize. The Lasker~Bloomberg Public Service Award honors individuals and organizations whose public service accelerates progress in medical science or health. The official Lasker citation recognizes Fox for “dispelling the stigma of the disease and spearheading a revolution in the world of Parkinson’s research.”

I am honored to sit on this amazing board of directors and work with Michael, Debi Brooks and an incredible team of people who work endlessly to achieve the dream we all want - better treatments and ultimately ending Parkinson's. Congratulations Michael!

MEET US AT TRAVELERS, POETS and FRIENDS

One of the restaurants helping us make this year's EpiCure for Parkinson's so special is Travelers, Poets and Friends! There is something wonderfully New York about a place that brings together good food, great coffee, conversation, and community. With its warm, inviting atmosphere and distinctive personality, Travelers, Poets & Friends feels like the kind of neighborhood gathering place where people come to linger, connect, and enjoy something delicious.

And that spirit is exactly what EpiCure is all about.

Bringing people together around food and friendship and turning that connection into action for Parkinson’s.

Travelers Poets & Friends captures the essence of the Italian coastline with its authentic offerings. Proprietor Emanuele Nigro, known for Osteria57 and Alice, has created a multi-faceted venue with a bakery, espresso bar, and market. The eatery offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner menus curated by Italian chef Riccardo Orfino, 

Location: EpiCure for Parkinson's and 457 6th Avenue, NYC

Come enjoy an incredible evening of food and drinks, discover some of New York's best culinary talent, reconnect with friends, and most importantly, help fund the research that could change the lives of millions living with Parkinson's.
