The emotional two-day event has become one of the Jimmy Fund’s biggest annual fundraisers.

The 36-hour Radio-Telethon will broadcast live from Fenway Park on WEEI Sports Radio Network (93.7 FM) and NESN and will feature compelling patient stories, interviews with Dana-Farber researchers, doctors and staff, and calls and visits from celebrity guests and members of the Boston Red Sox.
