The Jimmy Fund

At just two years old, Ethan was diagnosed with stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma. Over the next two years, he went on to receive nine rounds of chemotherapy, two bone marrow transplants, radiation, immunotherapy, and multiple surgeries. 
 
Now in seventh grade, Ethan is celebrating two big milestones: "graduating" to Dana-Farber's survivorship clinic, where he will receive ongoing care and monitoring, and getting Bar Mitzvah'd.
 
When it came time to choose a Bar Mitzvah service project, Ethan knew exactly what cause he wanted to support: "Because of the impact they have had on my life and my family, fundraising for Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund was an easy decision," he shares.

This month, we recognize everyone affected by pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, stomach cancer, and carcinoid cancer. 💜🤍🖤

Learn more about these cancers, current treatments, and research trials by following @DanaFarber.

A family history of cancer led Sue to seek answers. After a Lynch syndrome diagnosis, specialized screening helped detect two cancers—colon and lung—both in early stages.

Now, Sue is turning her experience into action. “I want to do whatever I can to stop this. I don’t want other people to go through what I’ve gone through,” she says. Read more of Sue’s story on our blog: jimmyfund.gives/pnc7n3fy.

We’re incredibly grateful to our friends at @ArbellaIns Foundation for helping us strike out cancer for Dana-Farber patients. In 2026, Arbella donated $50 for every strikeout by a Boston pitcher totaling $66,300 to support @DanaFarber and the Jimmy Fund’s mission.

Thank you to our longstanding partner, Arbella Insurance, for their continued support and dedication. Every strikeout brings us one step closer to changing the future of cancer care and research.

A new era in cancer care begins. The Lavine Bekenstein Cancer Hospital at Dana-Farber will be the region’s only dedicated inpatient cancer hospital, designed with patients at its center.
