Thank you to our friends at @DraftKings who dedicated their time to help us #KCANCER at Jimmy Fund Day at Fenway this past weekend! This year, we had more than 100 volunteers come together to support our mission to strike out cancer, including 30 staff members from DraftKings.

We couldn’t do it without your support! ❤️⚾

Did you know June is uterine cancer awareness month? Uterine cancer occurs when malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the endometrium. There are two types of uterine cancers: endometrial cancer and uterine sarcoma.

In the U.S., endometrial cancer is the most common cancer of the female reproductive organs, affecting mainly post-menopausal women. Uterine sarcomas are rare, making up only 2-5% of all uterine cancers.

Bella was just 5 when diagnosed with leukemia. Through treatment, hospital stays, and countless procedures, she has continued to inspire everyone with her bright spirit.

Now in remission, Bella is looking ahead to first grade and continuing to spend time with her little brother Jude.

Support patients like Bella now through 6/27 by donating at @HomeGoods or @Homesense_US or by purchasing a limited-edition bag featuring Bella’s artwork.

Since first joining Dana-Farber in 1996, Erica Feick, senior program manager in the Department of Data Science, has gone beyond her day-to-day work to support Dana-Farber's patients and families: she is a committed platelet donor, a former Jimmy Fund Walk for Dana-Farber team captain, and helps lead her team to raise funds for Dana-Farber's Holiday Patient Assistance Program, which supports adult and pediatric patients during the winter months.

We are proud to spotlight Erica as an Unsung Heroes of Dana-Farber, in partnership with our longtime supporter @ArbellaIns. Thank you, Erica, for all that you do to make an extraordinary impact on patients and their families each day.

A historic moment at #ASCO26: more than 9,000 oncologists rose for three standing ovations as Brian Wolpin, MD, MPH, Director of the Hale Family Center for Pancreatic Cancer Research, presented promising new Phase 3 results for an investigational treatment for metastatic pancreatic cancer.

In the trial, daraxonrasib helped patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic cancer live significantly longer than those who received chemotherapy.

While more work remains, these findings offer something powerful: hope for patients and families facing one of the most challenging cancers.

As Dr. Wolpin said, “It is exciting to see that we may soon be able to help patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer in ways we haven’t been able to before, improving both survival and quality of life.”

Congratulations to the researchers and patients who made this important progress possible. 👏👏👏

“Bob made an indelible mark on me. From the way he put his family and friends first, to the way he led with his heart. He made a mark on the world. Bob’s fundraising for the Jimmy Fund was extraordinary. I promised Bob that I would continue his efforts to raise money for cancer research and patient care. Virtual, Inc. is proud to return as a sponsor of Jimmy Fund Day at Fenway. We carry Bob with us in our hearts with each ball we hit and each dollar we raise.” - Andy Freed, Chairman, @Virtual__Inc
