Marking the 37th exhibition performance to benefit the Jimmy Fund, skating stars both past and present will take the ice to raise awareness and financial support for the Jimmy Fund and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Since its founding in 1970 by former US champion John Misha Petkevich, this entirely student-run event has raised more than $2.3 million for pediatric cancer aid and research.

Founded in 1948 to raise funds for the fight against children’s cancer, the Jimmy Fund supports the search for new cancer treatments for both adults and children at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world-renowned pioneer in discovering and developing innovative and effective cancer therapies.

Tickets cost $32 for adults and $12 for children and senior citizens. Tickets may be purchased by calling the Harvard Box Office at (617) 496-2222 or online at www.aneveningwithchampions.org. Group rates are also available for groups of 10 or more.
