a message from
hyundai motor america
Dear Walkers,
Hyundai Motor America is proud of our 17 years as the Boston
Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk’s presenting sponsor and of our
shared commitment to ending cancer. As we walk together
towards this end goal, we are honored to be part of such an
amazing event, fueled by a network of hardworking, passionate
walkers, volunteers, and supporters.
Since 1998, Hyundai has contributed more than $5 million
to the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk and more than
$13 million to Dana-Farber. In 2018, our company’s Walk
team raised more than $98,000, one part of our national
Hope on Wheels initiative, supported by Hyundai Motor
America and dealers nationwide.
The first and only automobile manufacturer in the U.S. to focus
exclusively on raising awareness and funds for pediatric cancer,
Hyundai will continue to walk with all of you to support Dana-
Farber’s mission to conquer cancer. Thank you for your shared
commitment.
Hyundai Motor America looks forward to seeing you on the
storied Boston Marathon® course on Sunday, September 22.
Sincerely,
The Eastern Region Hyundai Dealers

a message from zack blackburn
Dear Participants,
Thank you for choosing to participate in the 2019 Boston Marathon® Jimmy
Fund Walk presented by Hyundai. Our amazing community of dedicated
walkers, Virtual Walkers, volunteers, and supporters take incredible steps in
the fight against cancer by providing funding vital to Dana-Farber Cancer
Institute’s lifesaving mission. We are also grateful to Hyundai, who returns
for a 17th year as our presenting sponsor and remains a dedicated partner
in our fight to end cancer.
The Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk continues to raise the most money
of any single-day walk in the nation, an accomplishment the entire Walk
community has helped make happen. Since the Walk’s inception in 1989,
the event has raised more than $135 million for Dana-Farber. In 2018 alone,
8,300 walkers and 1,000 volunteers took to the course, raising more than
$8.6 million. As we aim to continue this momentum in 2019, I could not be
more grateful for the commitment you have made to the Jimmy Fund and
Dana-Farber by choosing to walk with us.
Every dollar you raise makes a difference for adult and pediatric cancer
patients at Dana-Faber and around the world. The innovative breakthroughs
you help fund brighten the future for those affected by cancer.
The entire Walk staff is here to help as you prepare to walk, fundraise, start
a team, engage your colleagues, or thank your donors. Whether you are
walking with us for the first time, or have walked with us before, thank you.
We look forward to lacing up our sneakers with you on September 22.
Thank you again for joining with us to help end cancer.
Sincerely,
Zack Blackburn
Assistant Vice President,

Who do you walk for? The faces of Dana-Farber adult and pediatric patients mark every mile and half mile of
the route. These Jimmy Fund Walk Heroes inspire walkers to go the distance in the fight to conquer cancer.
BOSTON MARATHON ® JIMMY FUND WALK PRESENTED BY HYUNDAI 2019 Event Handbook | 18dana-farber employees
work together, walk together
Each year, hundreds of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
employees, including doctors, nurses, researchers, support
staff, and more, participate as walkers or volunteers in the
Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk presented by Hyundai.
Employees participate with colleagues, family members, friends,
and patients to raise critical funds for Dana-Farber’s 50/50
balance of compassionate patient care and groundbreaking
cancer research. For many employees, participating in the
Jimmy Fund Walk is not only a way to honor their loved ones
who have been affected by cancer, but also to support
Dana-Farber patients and their families outside of the office.
Keep an eye out for Dana-Farber employees on Walk day!
They will be sporting a special ‘Dana-Farber Employee’ patch
on their Walk T-shirts.
