Earlier this morning the Michael J. Fox Foundation announced that the Nike MAG<\/a> draw and auctions have raised $6.75 million for Parkinson’s Research.<\/p>\n The funds were generated both through live auctions in Hong Kong and London and Nike’s The Draw system where fans of the shoe donated $10 for a chance to win a pair of the power-lacing sneaker.<\/p>\n The London auction sold the shoe for roughly $56,800, while Hong Kong’s sale went for much more at $104,000. Additionally, on the last day of The Draw, $10 donations were matched dollar for dollar.<\/p>\n In 2011, the Nike MAG<\/strong> raised $4.7M. Then, Google’s Sergey Brin matched and subsequently raised a total of $9.4M.<\/p>\n The #NikeMag<\/a> Draw & auctions raised $6.75M for @michaeljfoxorg<\/a> \u2013 amazing. Thank you to everyone who took part.<\/p>\n\n
