Surprise Party
Thursday, April 29, 2010
Four Seasons Hotel Boston
The third annual Surprise Party will benefit Friends of Dana-Farber, an all-volunteer organization of more than 1,200 members. Funds raised by Friends are allocated for oncology fellowships, patient services, and cutting-edge research and treatment programs throughout all divisions and departments at Dana-Farber, including nursing, social services, and pastoral care.
The 2010 event will also serve as a way to celebrate a truly outstanding anniversary. This year Surprise Party will honor Billy Starr, founder and executive director of the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge. 2010 marks the 30th year of the Pan Mass Challenge — which is the most successful athletic fundraising event in the nation, raising $270 million for lifesaving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
Join us April 29 for an evening of celebration, philanthropy, and entertainment that is not to be missed.
