Cape Coral HomeGoods’ ‘Help Families Fight Cancer’ campaign to benefit Jimmy Fund
Now, through June 29, Cape Coral HomeGoods shoppers will have the opportunity to support cancer care and research while shopping at the off-price home fashions retailer. More than 365 HomeGoods stores nationwide will be participating in the 15th annual “Help Families Fight Cancer” campaign benefitting the Jimmy Fund, which supports pediatric and adult cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Mass.
HomeGoods customers can participate by making a contribution at the register to “Help Families Fight Cancer,” with 100 percent of the proceeds benefiting the Jimmy Fund. Customers also have the opportunity to purchase a reusable shopping bag for 99 cents featuring artwork by Dana-Farber’s Jimmy Fund Clinic pediatric patient Allisa Freiberger, 9, of Westwood, Mass. HomeGoods will contribute 50 cents to the Jimmy Fund for each bag purchased.
The Jimmy Fund (www.JimmyFund.org) solely supports Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, raising funds for adult and pediatric cancer care and research to improve the chances of survival for cancer patients.
From achieving the first remissions in cancer with chemotherapy in 1948, to developing the very latest new therapies, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is one of the world’s leading centers of cancer research and treatment.
