Local Jimmy Fund Walk team to host Trivia Night

Support finding a cure for cancer one trivia question at a time! On Friday, June 16, the Steps for Life team will hold its third annual Trivia Night fundraiser to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund for cancer research.

The event will be held at the Canton Town Club, 300 Bailey Street in Canton. The doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the competition begins promptly at 7:30 p.m. Gold, silver and bronze awards will be given to the top three teams.

Each team will consist of eight players, and the cost to participate is $20 per team member. Individuals are encouraged to participate and can be placed on a team if they do not have one. Pre-registration is encouraged, but teams or individuals may register at the door. Trivia questions will be asked by Mark Morris. The categories could be anything!

The Canton Town Club will provide a cash bar. Pizza will be provided by Stone L’Oven (while it lasts) and teams are also invited to bring their own snacks.

Opportunity drawings will be held for many great prizes, including Red Sox tickets, F1 Boston passes, Elements Massage, Kings Bowling, The Loft, and gift certificates from the Baseball Tavern in Boston, Stone L’Oven, The Lodge, Mission Clothing, Roche Bros, Shaw’s, Harrows Chicken Pies and more.

The Steps for Life team consists of individuals walking the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk on September 24. Participants of the Jimmy Fund Walk choose one of four routes: 26.2 miles, 13.1 miles, 10K or 5K. The funds raised through the walk enable leaders at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to apply monies rapidly when promising new research opportunities arise. Steps for Life is seeking new members to join the team. If interested, please contact Kathy or Allyson at the phone numbers listed below.

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute has been the top-ranked cancer hospital in New England by U.S New and World Report for 15 consecutive years, and is the only cancer center in the country ranked in the top four for both adult and pediatric cancer programs.

The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund are able to use donations to speed the translation of laboratory discoveries into lifesaving treatments for patients all over the world.

It takes more than courage to beat cancer! We need your support. Help the Steps for Life team raise funds to find a cure. One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund.
