closeHELP THE JIMMY FUND FIGHT CANCER
The Triangle Red Sox Nation will team up with a Massachusetts radio and television station to support the fight against cancer during the annual WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon in August.
The telethon raises money for the Jimmy Fund, the official charity of the Boston Red Sox. The fund supports Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, helping children and adults with cancer around the world.

Organizers of the Red Sox fan club will hold a fundraiser at 7 p.m Aug. 8 at the Fox and Hound Pub and Grille at North Hills in Raleigh during the Red Sox-Chicago White Sox game. The fundraiser will include watching the game on TV and an auction for prizes including Red Sox tickets at Fenway Park in Boston, spa treatments and restaurant certificates.
The group will get together again Aug. 15 at the pub to watch the Red Sox game and raise additional funds while the telethon is going on in Boston.
