Friends of Dana-Farber
Friends' Board and Bios
Ellie Loughlin
Becoming a member-at-large on the Friends' Board in 1997-98, Ellie Loughlin wanted to delve into important projects. She co-chaired the Tribute Book Committee for two years, and co-chaired the Pops Gala in 2000. Indicative of her versatility, Ellie served as vice president of Membership, treasurer of the Friends from 2000 to 2001 and chaired the Great Chefs event for three years.
When Ellie joined the Friends' Board, she answered the request for volunteers to donate platelets at Dana-Farber. She donated platelets every two weeks in the Kraft Family Blood Donor Center for a number of years. This was a serious commitment which offered the reward of forming close bonds with equally dedicated volunteers.
Ellie graduated from Dartmouth College in 1989 and presently is president of the Class Officers Association. As a district enrollment director for Dartmouth, she coordinates interviews of candidates for admission, encompassing six towns in the western suburbs of Massachusetts. In addition, Ellie serves as secretary of the National Pancreas Foundation and is on the Board of Trustees at the Tenacre Country Day School in Wellesley.
Married in l991, Ellie and her husband, Phil Loughlin, live in Weston with their two children, Christopher and Katie.
