AGAWAM – Join nearly 30 of western New England's culinary greats at the 23rd annual Chefs for Jimmy to support adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The event will be at Agawam's Chez Josef on Jan. 25, 2013, from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. and will feature tastings of delicious dishes, a fantastic opportunity drawing, and a silent auction.

Presented by Winer Levsky Group of UBS Financial Services Inc., the event honors the memory of Neal Webber, a long-time supporter of the Jimmy Fund.

This event is hosted by the Jimmy Fund Council of Western Massachusetts in association with Kix 100.9, Mix 93.1, WHYN 560, abc40/Fox6 Springfield, and the Valley Advocate.

Since 1990, Chefs for Jimmy has raised more than $1 million for adult and pediatric cancer care and research at Dana-Farber. Tickets to the event are $75 and are available only in advance. Order tickets today by calling 800-525-4669 or online at jimmyfund.org/chefs-for-jimmy.

The Jimmy Fund, www.JimmyFund.org, solely supports Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, raising funds for adult and pediatric cancer care and research to improve the chances of survival for cancer patients around the world. It is an official charity of the Boston Red Sox, as well as the official charity of the Massachusetts Chiefs of Police Association, the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge, and the Variety Children's Charity of New England.

Since 1948, the generosity of millions of people has helped the Jimmy Fund save countless lives and reduce the burden of cancer for patients and families worldwide.
