This week, we had the honor celebrating the largest single gift in our history: a transformative joint commitment from the Josh and Anita Bekenstein and Jonathan and Jeannie Lavine families to name and help build our future cancer hospital.

When Wolfie was 5 years old, he spent a year undergoing surgeries and chemotherapy for leukemia. Now a happy, healthy 8-year-old, he wants to be a Master LEGO Builder when he grows up. Thanks to the treatment he received at Dana-Farber, that dream is possible. We’re rooting for you, Wolfie!

At @danafarber.bsky.social, we are reimagining the future of cancer care. This #WorldCancerDay, we're taking time to reflect on all the ways your generous support has helped make a difference around the globe. 🌎

We are profoundly grateful to announce the largest single gift in our 78-year history through a new joint commitment from Josh and Anita Bekenstein and the Jonathan Lavine and Jeannie Lavine family.

Thank you to the Pan Mass Challenge community for their commitment to raising incredible funds for cancer care and research! This past weekend, riders, volunteers, sponsors, and donors came together to be a part of the PMC Winter Cycle at Fenway Park.
