If you follow entertainment news, you’ve probably heard by now that Carol Burnett is suing FOX Network and the makers of “Family Guy” for $2 million. The suit stems from a 2005 episode of the cartoon sitcom that lampooned the actress and comedienne. More details are available from this article on CNN.com.

Fight SMA has ties with the show “Family Guy” reaching back to the show’s generous donation to our annual spinal muscular atrophy fundraiser last October. The makers of the TV show actually donated an appearance on the program! They illustrated the highest auction bidder into the show, making them a character in one episode. The winning bid for the once in a lifetime experience was a record $12,500. We remain thankful to FOX and Family Guy for the donation to our fight against SMA.

We are also familiar with Ms. Burnett’s involvement in a number of extremely worthy charitable causes, including her funding of multiple scholarship funds at universities across the country.

Without commenting on the merits of the lawsuit, we hope the two parties can come to an agreement to settle their dispute.
