TB: What is it that you do with Team Fox and how long have you been involved? Saign: My sister Dana and I have been involved with Team Fox for the last couple years mainly focused on organizing the Fall Benefit in San Francisco. TB: What is your favorite part about working with Team Fox?

I attribute that to the wonderful work of the MJFF. TB: What is An Evening Benefiting the Michael J. Fox Foundation? Saign: It is a benefit that takes place @ 111 Minna Gallery annually to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease, raise money for the Foundation’s work and bring members of the MJFF community together for a fun evening on the town.   TB: The event was a huge success last year. What do you attribute such overwhelming attendance to? Saign: Generous donors and passionate supporters of the MJFF’s mission.   TB: From an event planning standpoint, what advice would you give someone looking to create and host an event like your Team Fox event? Saign: Leverage the wonderful tools technology affords to get your message and event exposure on all of the different portals available. There you have it, Team Fox is supporting a great cause. Despite just recently being founded in the fall of 2011, the Team Fox Bay Area Young Professionals managed to organize a very successful inaugural event.
