Jimmy Fund




So I know not everyone is a Red Sox fan , and I'll accept that , however the red sox are part of a really fabulous organization known as the Jimmy Fund

This is directly from their website ...

The Boston Red Sox, WEEI Sports Radio 850 AM, NESN, and the Jimmy Fund will once again team up for the 7th annual WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon at Fenway Park. Learn more

Tune into WEEI or NESN for fun and inspiring interviews and commentaries by local sports heroes, Hollywood celebrities, cancer patients – and an all-day opportunity to phone in your gifts and pledges to the Jimmy Fund.

Sports enthusiasts will be able to enjoy unique experiences at Fenway Park during the event. On Thursday, WEEI's John Dennis and NESN's Tom Caron will host Trophy Talk, a luncheon at which Bruins legend Ray Bourque and Sox pitcher Curt Schilling are slated to appear. On Friday, Red Sox announcers Joe Castiglione of WEEI and NESN's Don Orsillo will moderate Sit Down with the Sox, a luncheon featuring a panel discussion with current Red Sox players.

The two-day event in 2007 raised $3.74 million. Since 2002, the Radio-Telethon has raised nearly $12 million to benefit the Jimmy Fund and the life-saving mission of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
