Z100’s super-fabulous Zootopia 2008 concert is set to be one of the biggest happenings of the year, and features artists such as Miley Ray Cyrus, Jordin Sparks, Gavin DeGraw, OneRepublic, and a newly reformed New Kids On The Block. Sadly, the May 17 show is sold-out… however, a limited number of seats for the New York event have just come available, with proceeds going to a great cause.

The level 1 tickets are $825, with the proceeds going to Musicians on Call, a non-profit organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities. The fantastic seats are available by contacting info@musiciansoncall.org or by calling Jonah at 212-741-2709.

This sensational offer will sell out soon, so be quick. In the words of New Kids On The Block, it gives everyone another chance to “see the girls with the curls in their hair… the buttons and the pins and the loud fanfares… Tonight, tonight… la la la la la la… Tonight.”

Weren’t the 90s great?!

Fox Raises Millions At Parkinson's Fundraiser

Actor Michael J. Fox received an exciting surprise after his 7th annual “A Funny (Groovy) Thing Happened on the Way to the Cure for Parkinson’s” fundraiser last month – the Woodstock-themed event raised an incredible $5.5 million.

Over 1000 guests, including Julianne Moore, Bart Freundlich, Katrina Bowden and Masi Oka, were in attendance, as well as New York’s Governor Eliot Spitzer and Newark’s Mayor Cory A Booker. Stephen Colbert was the comedic host, while musical performances from John Mayer, Joan Osborne, Levon Helm, Gavin DeGraw, and The Soul Ramblers created a psychedelic groove. Even Michael couldn’t resist grabbing his guitar and jamming on stage with the band, performing “Summertime Blues”, “Up On Cripple Creek”, and “Love the One You’re With”.

“He lives in the moment so much,” said Fox’s wife, Tracy Pollan. “I find that a real inspiration.”

Proceeds from the gala will go to the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which researches treatments and cures for Parkinson’s disease. The Foundation has raised almost $100 million since Fox established it in 2000, 10 years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s himself.

The degenerative neurological disorder affects the central nervous system. Obvious symptoms include resting tremors, slowness of movement, imbalance, rigidity, and loss of coordination. Other symptoms range from mild memory difficulties to dementia, depression and anxiety, sleep difficulties, a loss of the sense of smell, speech and swallowing problems, and unexplained pains. One out of every hundred people over 60 are affected by this disease, and there are currently over six million sufferers around the world.

“We want to be that point for people who wake up in the morning and think, ‘Who’s finding a cure for this?’. It’s us. We wake up every day and that’s our mission,” said Fox.
