Summer 2026
By Tatyana Figueira
For 17 years, Arbella Insurance Group employees have turned October pink in support of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute—this tradition continues.
On Oct. 15, 2025, company employees showed up in pink to assemble gift baskets, host raffles, and to hear powerful stories from Dana-Farber patients and staff. Together, Arbella employees raised $28,000, which was matched by the Arbella Insurance Foundation for a total of $60,000 to support cancer screenings and education across Massachusetts. To date, Pink Day has raised more than $600,000 to expand access to early detection and prevention programs, including Dana-Farber’s Mammography Van and Sun Safety initiatives, bringing lifesaving screenings directly into communities across the Commonwealth.
One of the day’s most moving moments came from Dana-Farber patient Craig Berkson of Framingham, Mass. Diagnosed in his 30s with a rare pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor, Berkson enrolled in a groundbreaking clinical trial in 2021. The treatment he helped test became the first FDA-approved therapy for his cancer type earlier this year. Now in his fifth year of treatment, he continues to celebrate milestones with his children, moments made possible through research and care supported by partners like Arbella.
