WHY WE'RE FUNDRAISING WITH THE JIMMY FUND WALK TO FIGHT CANCER
Our fundraiser directly benefits the Jimmy Fund, which has raised millions of dollars through thousands of grassroots efforts to help save lives and give hope to patients at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
In particular, Joe was passionate about "paying it forward" for others battling cancer. He was a repeat rider in the "Pan Mass Challenge" cancer cycling ride, including riding while undergoing cancer treatment. In addition, he participated in 3 clinical trials - not just in hopes of a cure for himself, but with the aspiration that trial research could save others from similar battles.
As you might guess, Joe was also an avid cornhole player, and enjoyed weekends playing cornhole by the lake with family and friends. Each year we celebrate his lighthearted competitive spirit at the Annual Joe Cristaldi Memorial Cornhole Tournament. Check out the 2024 event details here: https://fb.me/24KiWOdU8XgQLGv.
When you participate or make a gift, you’re directly supporting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s mission to defy cancer through a unique focus on cutting-edge research and compassionate patient cancer care. You are creating opportunities for Dana-Farber leaders to enhance programs and initiatives that serve pediatric and adult patients and their families around the world.
Thank you for your generosity. Together, we’re all Jimmy and we will defy cancer!
