Local Workplace Joins Rally Against Cancer

The following is an announcement from the Jimmy Fund:

A Lynnfield local workplace is joining Rally Against Cancer^SM to support the Jimmy Fund.  Team CM&B Inc. led by Alexis Silva is “rallying” to win a visit from this year’s Rally Spokesplayer Red Sox pitcher Daniel Bard.

When the Red Sox suit up against the Tampa Bay Rays on opening day at Fenway Park Friday, April 13, Red Sox Nation is encouraged to Rally Against Cancer to benefit Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. By contributing $5 or more to the Jimmy Fund, participants have the opportunity to “Dress for Sox-cess” and wear Boston Red Sox gear to work or school April 13.

The top fundraising workplace and school (K-12, college, or university) are each eligible for a visit from Bard.

Joining the ranks of past spokesplayers including Tim Wakefield, Clay Buchholz, Jon Lester, Dustin Pedroia, Kevin Youkilis, and Trot Nixon, Bard is an ambassador for the Jimmy Fund, working to raise awareness and build support for cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

In seven years, Rally Against Cancer has raised $2.5 million to support the fight against cancer at Dana-Farber. This year, the program hopes to raise $650,000. For more information about Rally, please visit RallyAgainstCancer.org.
