Fifth Annual Jessy’s Fight Golf Tournament Raises More Than $27,000

SPRINGFIELD — Local nonprofit Jessy’s Fight recently held its fifth annual Jessy’s Fight Golf Tournament to benefit the D’Amour Center for Cancer Care. It was able to raise $27,185.41, all of which will be donated to the cancer center at Baystate Medical Center.

All are invited to attend the check presentation Friday, Nov. 22 at 2 p.m. at D’Amour Center for Cancer Care, 3350 Main St., Springfield.

“I love to give back to others, and I’m truly honored to be in a position where I can make a difference,” said Jessy Sullivan, founder of Jessy’s Fight. “It’s important for me to set an example for our two daughters, Willow and Autumn. I want them to grow up understanding the value of giving back and knowing that, no matter how big or small, we all have the power to make a positive impact.”

Jessy’s Fight hopes to bring joy and reassurance to those who feel lost and alone, and has raised a total of $288,407.14 since 2017. Sullivan has been cancer-free seven years and counting.
