And, every day, the ironworkers paint the names onto I-beams and hoist them into place as they add floors to the new 14-story Yawkey Center for Cancer Care.
We read a case study about the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in my social entrepreneurship class! Here’s a video that they created for their Jimmy Fund Campaign that tells the story of these construction workers and kids. Truly heartbreaking.
