TommyCar Auto Reached 1 MILLION For Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

TommyCar Auto is truly honored and proud to announce that we have officially reached 1 MILLION dollars for Dr. Wen and his critical research for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Our Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure Charity Golf Tournament was one of two events in 2019 to be recognized on the Dana Farber Institute Benefactors Wall! We are so proud and grateful to have raised over $1,000,000 over the past eleven years in support of Dana Farber.

Without our sponsors, golfers, volunteers and generous contributors, this event would not be possible. We hope to continue to use this tournament as a way to remember Tom Cosenzi and support Dana-Farber’s world-class researcher’s work to reduce and ultimately eliminate the burden of cancer.

THANK YOU!

TommyCar Auto Particpated In No Shave November Donating $5,400 to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

TommyCar Auto Group joined forces with the Hampshire Sheriff's Office, Jail and House of Corrections and Sheriff Patrick J. Cahillane for the month of November for No Shave November. No Shave November is devoted to “growing” cancer awareness; while raising funds to support cancer prevention, research, education about cancer prevention, as well as aid those fighting the battle. It’s a month long journey in which participants forgo shaving and grooming in order to evoke conversations, while raising cancer awareness.

The police department has a policy that prohibits beards, however, for one month this year that policy was suspended and officers were allowed to grow beards for a one time donation. Throughout the month of November, deputies and staff were given the opportunity to opt out of dress code, growing out their facial hair, for a donation of $20 to the Tom Cosenzi Driving for the Cure Charity Golf Tournament, which supports Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

The employees of TommyCar Auto Group, also joined in this campaign, donating the money they would spent on shaving to the charity.

In total, the Sheriff’s Office raised $2,700, which Carla Cosenzi, matched that amount, resulting in a donation of $5,400 to Dana-Farber.
