News — Jimmy Fund

This all started with a pretty simple t-shirt. Our Fight Club franchise of tees (going back to 2008, still bummed that we didn't start in '04 with V-Tek) has always championed athletes who are willing to throw down for their team. In 2021, we realized we should honor someone who is taking on a very different kind of fight, the one and only Jerry Remy. After Alex Cora wore the tee during his interview on NESN during the Jimmy Fund telethon, we decided to add it to the store and try and make as big of a donation as possible. As a multi-year sponsor in the past of the Jimmy Fund, we love and respect the work that they do. We had the honor of working alongside of them to build awareness for their efforts and got to sit down with several of their patients during our time there.

The shirt resonated with people after Alex wore it, and then it started popping up more - Chris Sale was in it during several post-game pressers, a few other players had it on the field during batting practice. It got people talking about the much-missed personality and allowed us to make a very significant donation of $30,000 to the Jimmy Fund.

Our biggest donation ever to them, in fact! And the 2nd largest in our history as a brand. Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts and for making this happen.

Alex Cora is wearing a limited edition Believe In Boston t-shirt that we created in support of Jerry Remy, which ended up raising a grand total donation of $25,250.  We asked Alex to join us in our presentation of the final payment of $10,250 to the Jimmy Fund, because his wearing of the tee during their telethon prompted a whole lot of people to order it, giving us a chance to make a much bigger donation than we had thought possible.  The first donation of $5,000 was made to the MGH Cancer Center, you can read about it HERE. The 2nd donation of $10,000 was made to the Jimmy Fund and you can read about it HERE. It took a minute for the dust to settle, but when it did we couldn't believe we were able to make this final donation of $10,250.  THANK YOU to everyone who supported this effort!

When we heard that Jerry Remy was facing another fight with cancer, we were moved to do something.  This is a cause dear to our hearts - as a two time presenting sponsor of Rally For the Jimmy Fund, we've been involved first hand.  We've met with the doctors at Dana Farber.  We've sat with many of the patients and heard their stories. So like we have many times in the past, we created a spontaneous "Believe In Boston" t-shirt with the plan of donating the profits from their sale.

Last night we got to celebrate all of the hard work that the Rally For the Jimmy Fund team has exerted for this 2017 season.  And we're proud to announce that they've collectively raised just shy of $600,000 so far this season!  Like the event last year, highlights included a Q&A with Red Sox announcer Joe Castiglione.  To find out more about the good work that the Rally For the Jimmy Fund team does to raise funds for cancer research and treatment, visit their site HERE!

Sully's founder Chris Wrenn had the opportunity to join the Jimmy Fund crew this morning as the sponsor of Rally For The Jimmy Fund on their trip to the Fisher School in Walpole, MA. Jackie Bradley Jr. visited the school to celebrate their fundraising efforts.  He couldn't have been nicer and watching an entire elementary school auditorium of kids chanting "JBJ! JBJ!" was amazing!  Congratulations to the Fisher School for their efforts to benefit the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.  To learn more about the efforts of Rally For the Jimmy Fund, click HERE!
