The Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson’s is collaborating with Michigan’s Born in Detroit Apparel, LLC, with the launch of an exclusive Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson’s Team23 collection apparel line.

A portion of proceeds from this limited-edition apparel line will go to the foundation, which former professional baseball player and manager, Kirk Gibson, formed after his diagnosis with Parkinson’s disease in 2015. The new apparel is available now through May 10, 2023, exclusively online at KirkGibsonFoundation.org.

Kirk Gibson spent most of his career with the Detroit Tigers, but he also played for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kansas City Royals and Pittsburgh Pirates.

“The foundation is always asked if there are clothing options available and now for the first time with this limited-edition Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson’s Team23 collection, people will be able to showcase their pride in the foundation, all while helping support the Parkinson’s Community and Team23,” said Michelle Newman, COO for The Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson’s.

“We are proud to partner with the Kirk Gibson Foundation for Parkinson’s. Being a former baseball player myself, I have always had a huge respect for Kirk Gibson as a player, and now even more so with all he does for his foundation. We are happy to join his team and to be able to help support his mission to help others with Parkinson’s”, said Anthony Tomey, Co-Owner, Born in Detroit, and The Tomey Group.
