Other collectors have consigned their Back to the Future items, designating a percentage of their sales directly to Team Fox.

Fox Foundation in their fight against Parkinson's Disease. The winner and a guest can have lunch with Bob Gale in Los Angeles, subject to his schedule, OR a 1 hour-long phone call if travel to L.A. isn't possible. Lunch will be paid for by the Profiles in History team and the television show, Hollywood Treasure, on Syfy.
