Annual Golf Tournament to support Friendly House's Youth Program. Your support provides our youth with a safe place to belong, grow and thrive! The Friendly House Youth Development Department serves over 500 young people each year, across four programs: After-School; Teen Leadership; Basketball and Summer Camp. The vast majority of families served by our programs report “very low income” or “extremely low income” status (less than 30% of Area Median Income). Our program engages the youth in physical, recreational and educational activities which will enhance their social and emotional growth and empowers our teens to develop and strengthen their overall life skills.

Each year, thousands of people make the UMass Cancer Walk presented by Harr Toyota a success. The money raised supports adult and pediatric cancer research and care, and clinical trials of new potentially lifesaving therapies taking place right here at UMass Chan.

Join us on Sunday, Sept. 29, at Polar Park! The event honors patients, family members, health care providers, researchers, sponsors and volunteers—and you—with our superhero theme. By raising money and taking part in the walk, you have the “power” to save the lives of cancer patients. Superheroes will make appearances and participants are encouraged to dress up as superheroes!

Your commitment to raise funds to support the UMass Cancer Walk is vital to the researchers and physician-scientists at our UMass Cancer Center.

Your efforts enable them to focus on critical research, including clinical trials, that have the potential to change the lives of those with cancer. The funds you raise will help us develop groundbreaking cancer therapies and treatments. Your participation provides hope to those who need it most.

Be a superhero and join the fight against cancer! Register for the walk, register a team or make a donation today.

On Monday, October 7, 2024, teammates, sponsors, family, friends and fans will hit the bowling lanes at Kings Dining & Entertainment in Boston’s Seaport district to raise funds for pediatric care and programs that support children at Boston Medical Center (BMC). Strikes For Tykes, originally the Mayo Bowl, will build on the success of past bowling tournaments, which have built a reputation as the largest professional athlete-attended event in New England. Historically, the event has averaged thirty-five (35) New England Patriots players in attendance each year. Past notable attendees include: James White, Jerod Mayo, Robert Kraft, Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Rob Gronkowski, Vince Wilfork, Joe Andruzzi and many more. Over the past fourteen (14) years, the event, initially founded by Jerod Mayo, has generated $3.6 million, with last year’s tournament, hosted in 2023 by David Andrews, raising more than $200,000.
