In 1948, Einar Gustafson, a 12-year-old patient of Dr. Sidney Farber, took part in a national radio broadcast from his Boston hospital room under the name “Jimmy”. His story inspired thousands of donations to support Dr. Farber’s groundbreaking leukemia research—and the Jimmy Fund was born. The Jimmy Memorial Golf Tournament honors “Jimmy’s” legacy and courage, as we celebrate 75 years of changing lives through the Jimmy Fund.
Jimmy Fund Golf presented by Mohegan Sun brings together volunteer tournament directors and passionate golfers to defy cancer through the nation’s oldest and largest charity golf program.
