The Back to the Future star and his wife were flanked by their children—son Sam, 35, 29-year-old twin daughters Aquinnah and Schuyler, and daughter Esmé, 23—for the rare family snapshot. The group stood in front of the foundation’s logo for the photo, with everyone flashing a smile for the photographers as they prepared to enter the event space.

The foundation’s official Instagram account later shared behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the gala on Instagram Stories. Actor Denis Leary, the evening’s host, was seen waving at attendees while onstage in one snapshot, while Roy Wood Jr. and Stevie Nicks were both filmed performing onstage in videos shared on the social media platform. At one point during the night, Fox and singer Maggie Rogers joined Nicks onstage for a performance, with the Teen Wolf star playing guitar as Nicks and Rogers sang. One fan later shared a snapshot of Fox playing guitar on X, formerly Twitter.

In addition to the fun moments sprinkled throughout the night, Fox and Pollan also appeared onstage to address gala attendees, the foundation revealed on Instagram Stories.
Fox, now 63, was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in 1991, when he was 29. The Family Ties alum later launched the foundation in 2000 to support Parkinson’s disease research. The annual charity gala aims to “celebrate progress and raise critical funds for research” and has raised more than $116 million since its launch, according to the foundation’s website.
