Why Holliston Resident Bob Walks for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute: The Jimmy Fund is the primary fundraising operation for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the reality is that I would simply not be alive today without the Jimmy Fund raising donations from people like you that led to the discovery of the complex treatment plan ( a version of which you can find here) that my Care Team proposed and delivered successfully to me. You can read more about my prior walks in Milestones as well as in the Metrowest Daily News Article by Tim Dumas in 2025. Check out my August 2026 interview in the Holliston Town News.
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute provides expert, compassionate care to children and adults and is home to groundbreaking cancer discoveries. Since its founding in 1948, the Jimmy Fund has raised millions of dollars through thousands of community efforts to advance Dana-Farber’s lifesaving mission.
SPECIAL THANKS: Simply ecstatic that local family-friendly brewery Rushford & Sons Brewhouse not only agreed to host the first BBC23 fundraiser for the 2026 Jimmy Fund Walk but also donate $1 for every beverage sold during the event on top of a gift card for the opportunity drawings.
PLUS an additional Silent Auction valued at $1,200. The highest bidder for this special item will join more than 400 leaders from the financial services community for Expect Miracles in Boston Gala on November 5, 2026, for one of the industry’s most anticipated evenings of connection, celebration, and purpose.
