DANVERS, Mass., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — During the 130th running of the Boston Marathon presented by Bank of America, the New England Honda Group continued its longstanding commitment to supporting cancer research and patient care by sponsoring a team of 15 runners who raised funds for the Jimmy Fund, the charitable arm of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The 2026 Boston Marathon fundraising effort resulted in a $122,440 donation, presented to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute on September 24, 2026. The contribution brings New England Honda closer to its five-year fundraising goal of $500,000 in support of the Jimmy Fund. The initiative is part of an ongoing commitment that has seen New England Honda sponsor a team of runners and support the Jimmy Fund for the past four years. Through this partnership, the organization has helped turn the excitement and energy surrounding the Boston Marathon into meaningful support for groundbreaking cancer research and treatment.
The President of the New England Honda Dealers, Jason LaCroix, is personally involved with Honda’s fundraising efforts. He sees it as a great honor to be “serving as both captain and a teammate of Team Honda,” and is “proud of the dedication our runners brought to both their training and fundraising, and grateful to everyone who supported us. Sharing the Boston Marathon experience with this team is special, but knowing our efforts help Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund bring hope to patients and families makes it even more meaningful.”
As the official vehicle sponsor of the Boston Marathon, New England Honda plays an important role in helping support the event and its operations. That commitment extends beyond race day, with the organization and its sponsored runners continuing to give back to the community through their annual fundraising efforts.
Cancer has touched the lives of countless families and communities, making the work of organizations like Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund especially meaningful. Every contribution helps advance innovative research, improve treatments, and provide hope to patients and their families.
New England Honda is proud of its partnership with the Boston Athletic Association and its continued support of the Jimmy Fund. With the 2027 Boston Marathon on the horizon, the New England Honda team looks forward to building on this year’s $122,440 contribution and continuing its commitment to making a meaningful difference in the fight against cancer.
