The 20th annual Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon, sponsored by Arbella Insurance Group, raised more than $3.5 million for the Dana-Faber Cancer Institute. Since 2002, the event has raised more than $62 million.

In addition to being the presenting sponsor of the event, which took place at Boston's Fenway Park on Aug. 23-24, The Arbella Insurance Foundation donated $100,000 to the fund. The contribution will support programs to drive community awareness for the Jimmy Fund, including:

  • "Let's Strike Out Cancer:" The company's foundation will donate $50 for each strikeout thrown by a Red Sox pitcher during the season.
  • Matching gifts: The foundation will match Arbella Insurance Group independent agent donations on a $2 for $1 basis up to $500 maximum from the Foundation per agency. For every donation to the Jimmy Fund by an Arbella Insurance Group employee, the Foundation will match the donation on a $1 for $1 basis under its matching gift program.
