Golf tourneys benefit Jimmy Fund The 27th Annual Jimmy Fund Golf Tournament/Jeffrey Vinick Memorial, benefiting the Jimmy Fund, will be held at five golf courses across western Massachusetts and Connecticut in June. Each year Jimmy Fund Golf, the nation's oldest and largest grassroots golf program for charity, brings together hundreds of volunteers and thousands of golfers who are united in their love for the game of golf and their desire to fund cancer research. Starting with individual benefit tournaments dating back more than 50 years, just after the Jimmy Fund was founded, Jimmy Fund Golf has steadily grown to more than 150 tournaments annually since it was formally organized in 1983. The entry fee is $250. In 2005, Jimmy Fund Golf events collectively raised $5.5 million. All tournament proceeds support cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.
