Collection of four membership cards to the Jimmy Fund. The Jimmy Fund was founded in 1948 to support cancer car and research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and was named after a young cancer patient named Jimmy. His actual name was Einar Gustafson (not actually "Jimmy") a patient of Dr. Sidney Farber who was named "Jimmy" to protect his privacy. Ultimately Jimmy lived to age 65 passing away in 2001 of a stroke. The Boston Red Sox formed a partnership with the Jimmy Fund in 1953 and Ted Williams was integral to that partnership raising millions of dollars for the fund during his life. During his career Williams announced that all donation checks sent to Fenway Park for the Jimmy Fund would be endorsed with his autograph so donors' returned checks would be so autographed. Presented here are four membership cards for 1956 1959 (graded GEM MINT 9.5 by Beckett) 1960 and 1963. Each of the three membership cards present well though the 1956 card is used with its member's writing at the top in GOOD condition. Each features an image of Williams on the reverse. The remaining two cards appear NM-MT. Four pieces total.
