Dear Jimmy Fund Golf supporters,

As we near the close of another successful Jimmy Fund Golf season, I’d like to congratulate and thank you for your involvement. With your dedication and support, Jimmy Fund Golf presented by Mohegan Sun helped to raise $7.68 million through 18-hole tournaments, golf marathons, mini golf events, sponsorships, and contests. As a valuable member of our Jimmy Fund Golf community, you are changing the lives of cancer patients.

I was diagnosed with advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma in 1985. Upon hearing I had a blood cancer, I researched the best place to be treated and the choice was clear. I headed from Baltimore to Boston to be treated at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Dana-Farber has helped set the standard of care and research worldwide for both children and adults facing cancer. I’m living proof that your fundraising makes a difference.

As Chairman of the Jimmy Fund, I’ve had many memorable moments speaking with patients at Dana-Farber and its Jimmy Fund Clinic. I’m always impressed with the strength and poise they show, even in the face of challenging diagnoses and treatments. With every golf swing and every putt, you are helping these patients, and cancer patients around the world, by accelerating cancer research discoveries and ensuring the latest care advances are brought to patients as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your work on and off the golf course to further the lifesaving mission of Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. See you next season!

Sincerely,

Larry Lucchino Chairman of the Jimmy Fund

2017 NOTABLE RESEARCH AND PATIENT CARE BREAKTHROUGHSThanks to your support and dedication, Dana-Farber

was able to achieve the following breakthroughs:

■ Led clinical trials based on a crucial discovery at Dana-

Farber that resulted in the FDA approval of the first of a new class of drugs that destroy cancer cells by attacking

a protein they rely on for survival

■ Discovered the genetic cause of a rare pediatric brain tumor, which ultimately may help patients avoid

unnecessary treatments

■ Identified a previously unknown cause of ovarian

cancer drug resistance that could aid in developing more

effective treatment strategies

■ Achieved encouraging and durable results with an experimental drug against multiple cancers including

breast cancer, lung cancer, glioblastoma, and melanoma in

an early phase clinical trial

■ Began offering sessions of Reiki, reflexology, massage, and acupuncture to patients during infusion

treatments to help mitigate side effects of nausea, pain,

anxiety, and stress

■ Recognized as a “Leader in LGBT Healthcare Equality” by the Human Rights Campaign Foundation for creating an

inclusive and welcoming environment for all patients
