Top ranked cancer hospital
by U.S. News and World Report for both adult and pediatric cancer programs.
Money raised through the Jimmy Fund has helped Dana-Farber Cancer Institute save countless lives and reduce the burden of cancer for patients and their families around the world. It also helps Dana-Farber keep an equal focus on groundbreaking scientific research to find cures for cancer and on comprehensive cancer care, including support services for all patients and specialized care for kids at the Jimmy Fund Clinic.
“Helping Dana-Farber means so much to me. I can’t cure cancer. But I can support the people who have made it their mission to do just that.”
Susan, Team Captain of Jimmy Fund Walk team Heels for Harlow
Susan signed up for the Jimmy Fund Walk after her close friend, Carolyn, passed away from multiple myeloma. Susan wanted to give back to Dana-Farber, where Carolyn received the care that extended her life. Since then, Susan and Heels for Harlow have raised thousands of dollars for Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund.
Powered by Community
The Jimmy Fund is fueled by local fundraising, the kindness of the community, and the hope for a better future. Every year, Jimmy Fund supporters join forces to drive progress at Dana-Farber and help make new cancer discoveries possible.
