2024 recipient of the Boston Red Sox Jimmy Fund Award, August 13, 2024
We are proud to have partnered with the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute for almost 10 consecutive years. Over this time, we’ve taken part in numerous events and contributed more than $1 million toward Dana-Farber’s vital mission of defying cancer. This journey has been marked by incredible milestones, including the most memorable of them all which occurred on August 13th of this year. The team at Herb Chambers received the Boston Red Sox Jimmy Fund Award. This award is the Jimmy Fund's highest honor, presented annually by the Red Sox to those who have demonstrated longstanding commitment to the lifesaving mission of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. Twenty members of our team enjoyed an evening at the beloved Fenway Park, taking part in a wonderful on-field presentation before watching our famed Red Sox clinch a win over the Texas Rangers.
As part of our 2024 Premier Partnership, we’re gearing up to continue our efforts by joining members of the DFCI community and beyond, by participating in the 2024 Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai on Sunday, October 6th. This Walk is more than just an event for us, it’s a step toward a brighter future, one where we together work to reach the ultimate finish line: a world without cancer.
The funds raised through the Jimmy Fund Walk go directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, helping to support their incredible work and unwavering mission. Dana-Farber is renowned not only for its cutting-edge cancer research but also for its compassionate care for patients and families. Every dollar raised makes a difference, enabling Dana-Farber to enhance their programs and initiatives for both pediatric and adult patients alike.
We’re truly humbled by the opportunity to be part of this journey, and we are dedicated to making every step count. The support of our team members and guests means everything to us and to the countless lives touched by cancer. Together, we can keep moving forward toward a future where cancer is no longer a part of the story. Check out the Team Herb Chambers page and consider joining the pack. We will have walkers all throughout the course, as well as under the Herb Chambers tent at the finish line.
Together, we can defy cancer!
