The Jimmy Fund began in Boston in 1948 as a way for members of the community to raise money in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The Jimmy Fund collects donations of any size from friends, family, and community members through volunteer-led fundraising events like walks, races, auctions, and bake sales.  

Volunteer at a Jimmy Fund event and join a group of people dedicated to improving the lives of cancer patients at Dana-Farber and beyond. From passing out medals to scooping ice cream, there’s a volunteer position for everyone.
