Charitable Corporate Culture

After a long battle with cancer, during the spring of 1982 Jeffrey Marc Vinick at age 18, the brother of Michael D. Vinick, our company managing principal died of cancer. In his memory, Michael has dedicated many of his efforts and resources to support The Jimmy Fund / Dana Farber Cancer Institute where Jeffrey was treated. Michael has pledged that he will not rest until cancer is eradicated, especially from kids. In May of 1999, Michael was awarded the Lifetime Commitment Award from the Jimmy Fund.

In Jeffrey's memory, a group of local individuals and business leaders has built a golf tournament into the largest tournament in the Jimmy Fund Organization. Over the years we have raised over $7.5 million dollars. More can be learned about the tournament at www.vinick.kintera.org.
