The Jimmy Fund pays tribute to the late George Berardi
George Berardi, along with Rico Petrocelli and Mike Andrews, co-founded the Jimmy Fund Little League Program in 1987.
George's dedication helped expand the Little League Program, which has raised more than $3 million for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Thank you for your interest in the Jimmy Fund Little League Program. The program gives more than 5,000 Little League baseball and softball players throughout New England the chance to continue playing after their regular season ends, by participating in the Jimmy Fund Little League Program.
Off the field, these young heroes take to their communities to raise vital funds for the Jimmy Fund, while learning the importance of philanthropy and volunteerism, and that they, too, can make a difference in the fight against cancer.
