The “Back to the Future” star founded the organization in 2000, nine years after he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s.

Michael J. Fox stepped out with his wife, Tracy Pollan, and their three daughters to the actor’s 26th annual Parkinson’s gala.

The “Back to the Future” star attended his A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson’s event hosted at New York City’s Waldorf Astoria on Saturday.

Fox, 65, and Pollan, 66, beamed in coordinated black outfits as they posed with their daughters, 31-year-old twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, and Esmé, 25.

The star-studded event was founded by the actor in 2000, just nine years after he received his diagnosis at the age of 29. The gala raises money for research to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.

“It’s all about the amazing work that the foundation has done. It celebrates everybody who’s worked with us for 20-plus years,” Pollan told People at the event Saturday.

“Just the huge and amazing amount of money that’s been raised that goes directly into the scientists’ pockets … We really are seeing so much progress,” she added.

The actress also reflected on Fox’s journey with Parkinson’s, telling the outlet, “You just have to do it day by day.”

“You have to look at what’s in front of you,” she explained. “And you have to stay in the moment — and if the moment is OK, that’s where you are.”

Comedians Josh Johnson and Tom Papa performed sets, while John Mayer and Brad Paisley were the musical guests.
