Mission
Established in 1976, the Friends of Dana-Farber have raised more than $34 million to fund powerful cancer research and patient care programs at Dana-Farber. The organization exemplifies the Power of Friends through its dual mission: raising funds for research, patient services, women's cancer programs, and oncology fellowships at the Institute and providing services that enhance Dana-Farber's healing environment, including gift bags for patients, administration of the Institute's world-class art collection, spiritual health programs, and programs to brighten the holidays for patients and families.
