Dana-Farber Runners:
The 2007 race is presented by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and The Jimmy Fund, and Dana-Farber Runners use the half marathon as a fund raising event.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is on track to conquering major forms of cancer within this decade. Home to many of the world's groundbreaking discoveries in cancer research and treatment, Dana-Farber is uniquely primed to transform this vision to a reality.

Since 1948, the Jimmy Fund has served as the principal fundraising arm of Dana-Farber, raising millions of dollars to advance its lifesaving mission. To learn more, visit Dana-Farber and The Jimmy Fund.

Since the event's inception, a portion of the entry fees is directed towards the Emerald Necklace Conservancy, a non-profit organization working to restore, preserve, maintain and promote this historic park system. The donation benefits the 1,000 acres of greenspace, waterways and parkways so important to our Commonwealth's quality of life and the health of its citizens.
