Friends of Dana-Farber
Friends' Mission
Friends, an all-volunteer organization of more than 1,500 members, takes pride in serving this recognized Institute through patient services, educational activities, and fundraising. Funds raised by Friends are allocated for research fellows and treatment programs throughout all divisions and departments at the Institute, including nursing, social services, and pastoral care. Friends provides seed money and follow-up funding for innovative basic research and clinical trials led by researchers at critical junctures in their careers and fosters programs that reach out to the community-at-large.
The Friends all-volunteer organization has been enriching the lives of Dana-Farber patients, families, visitors, and staff since 1976.
Established in 1976, the Friends welcomes new members. Please join us as we continue to grow in membership and help in the fight against cancer.
