Summer 2026
By Robbie Merritt
The Jimmy Fund Walk for Dana-Farber presented by Hyundai raised a staggering $11.2 million in 2025, in no small part thanks to efforts by the event’s top walkers and fundraisers. The annual Awards and Milestones Reception in March recognized those individuals, among them Gerry Forget (pictured center), an 18-year Walk veteran with a lifetime fundraising total of more than $200,000, who received the Extra Mile Award.
Additionally, Lifetime Achievement awards were given to individuals Ellen Caliendo, Barbara Gubb, Alison Robertson, David Thau, and Jennifer Brown, MD, PhD; and teams Jason & Mo Friendship Fund, Fernando’s Fight, The A Team, Morgan Stanley, and Team Police Chiefs. The event also honored top corporate teams and Dana-Farber employee participants.
