The Jimmy Fund, was founded as a money
raising agency of the Children's Cancer
Research foundation. The Jimmy Fund
started in 1948 when the Variety
Children's Charity of New England and
the Boston Braves baseball team joined
forces to help a 12-year-old cancer
patient dubbed "Jimmy." The Red Sox
formed a partnership and supported the
Jimmy Fund Since 1953.
In 1956 Ted Williams who backed the fund since it was organized in 1948,
became the general chairman of the
Jimmy fund. His plan was to expand
efforts for the children's cancer
research foundation nation wide. He
made radio and television appearances
on behalf of the Jimmy Fund, to
immediately raise funds to enlarge the
cancer research building. Williams
unveiled a Jimmy Fund Membership card
at a 1956 Fenway Park press luncheon.
The card pictures Ted Williams, and a
facsimile aerograph on the back.
The 1959 Jimmy Fund Red Sox Variety Club membership card, with Joe Cronin
as General Chairman, pictures Ted
Williams in blue-tone on the back,
stating "This is my way of telling you
how much I appreciate your interest in
the Jimmy Fund" Below is a Ted
Williams facsimile autograph.
