big difference in the fight against cancer by just giving a little,” said Suzanne Fountain, director of the Jimmy Fund.

Participating Burger King restaurants are located throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Pennsylvania, New York, and Ohio. The Jimmy Fund, an official charity of the Boston Red Sox, supports the fight against cancer at Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, helping to raise the chances of survival for children and adults with cancer around the world. Since 1948, the generosity of millions of people has helped the Jimmy Fund (www.jimmyfund.org) save countless lives by furthering cancer research and care.
