This year the Friends of Dana-Farber are operating a Thanksgiving postcard station for the first time since 2020, thanks to Donalds Vergers generous donation of postcards and our amazing volunteers operating the station! The Thanksgiving station has been operating on Yawkey 3 in front of the dining pavilion. The station is a chance for anyone to write a note of thanks to anyone they wish- friends, family, caretakers, doctors, ect. The Friends will mail these notes out for you ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Helen Lin and Jill Papagni are the Friends’ 2024 Sidney Farber Volunteers of the Year! 
 
The Sidney Farber Volunteer Awards honor the spirit of service and are given annually to Institute and Friends of Dana-Farber volunteers. Each Volunteer of the Year is able to direct an honorarium to a program of her choice. Helen and Jill both joined the Friends of Dana-Farber Board in 2019, and have made an incredible impact in the short years since. Helen serves as our current Co-President and Jill is our Co-Vice-President of Membership.
 
Helen has chosen to support Dr. Sarah Hill’s Ovarian Cancer research and Dr. Oreofe O. Odejide’s Lymphoma research. As she accepted her award, Helen shared, “What we are doing on this end of the world is benefiting my family on the other side of the world. Cancer research is global. It requires teamwork.”
 
Jill has chosen to direct funding to Dr. Sarah Hill’s Ovarian Cancer research and Dr. Tao Zhang’s research into new therapeutics for Breast Cancer patients. On accepting her award, Jill said, “Drs. Hill and Zhang, I am directing this award funding to your vital work in honor of so many brave women in my family. I ask that you continue to build the pipeline of bright young researchers, and I promise to continue building the pipeline of Friends to support your work and the work of others.”
 
We are so grateful for Helen and Jill for their passion for our mission and wonderful work on behalf of our patients and the Institute.
