SPANISH FORT, Ala. — Great Scott!

Eastern Shore fans of the 1985 cult classic “Back to the Future” have several opportunities over the next week to get their Marty McFly fix while supporting the cause launched by the actor who made the film role famous.

Will Sanders, director of Premiere Cinema 14 in the Eastern Shore Centre, has partnered with Spanish Fort’s Jayne Godfrey to host “Back for a Cure” Nov. 18.

In honor of the 25th anniversary of the film’s release, “Back for a Cure” festivities will begin with a classic car show at 6 p.m., followed immediately by the 7 p.m. screening of the time-travel trilogy. A portion of the proceeds from the inclusive $15 tickets — along with companion fundraisers — will benefit local efforts to raise funds for Parkinson’s disease research.

Beginning today, the theater will also sponsor a weeklong “Delorean Dollar Fundraiser” through which patrons not planning to attend the screenings can still support the cause. Sanders said donations can be made at both the Premiere box office or online at www.teamfox.org/2010/backforacure.

“It’s about having a good time and supporting a good cause,” said Sanders, who recently joined Godfrey’s “Shakin’ NOT Stirred” Team Fox chapter of the national Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

Actor Michael J. Fox has been an outspoken advocate for increased research into the motor system disorder since his diagnosis. To date, the actor’s foundation has raised $196 million toward pursuing a cure. Team Fox events nationwide have generated more than $7 million since 2006, and more than $2 million of that figure has been raised in 2010 alone.

Godfrey, who was diagnosed with the degenerative neurological disorder in 2008, said supporting her chapter helps the national organization “achieve its mission to bring better treatments and, ultimately, a cure to people living with Parkinson’s disease.”

And with one week to go, the Godfrey has already raised $2,200 of her $5,000 goal for the event, but she challenged the Eastern Shore community to blow the goal out of the water. It’s a challenge Sanders has taken to heart, raising $120 to date of his $2,000 “Back for a Cure” goal.

Sanders joins “Shakin’ NOT Stirred” team members Lila Fisk, Susan Glickman and Michael Sweet who have sponsored their own Team Fox fundraisers throughout 2010.

The national foundation estimates that 5 million people worldwide are believed to be living with the chronic disorder that the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke believes to be caused by the loss of dopamine-producing brain cells.

Ongoing research is needed, Godfrey said, because the underlying cause for the cell loss has not yet been determined.
