Team MBK hits a home run for The Jimmy Fund

May 06, 2020

Many (if not all) of us know someone that has been affected by cancer. But, the fight to find a cure and treatment is something that we can all be a part of.

MBK participated in the 2020 Rally Against Cancer and went up to bat for the ultimate home run: a world without cancer! The team at MBK was led by Team Leader, Chelsea Cox. Together, they exceeded their goal by raising over $1,000 for this year’s donation. To date, MBK has donated $11,294 for the Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber Cancer Institute.

With Opening Day being delayed, staff could not participate in “wear your Red Sox gear to work day” on Red Sox opening day. However, they got creative to show their Red Sox spirit and Jimmy Fund support. Team members shared who they rally for by writing a name on our Jimmy Fund Wall and sharing on social media to show support and spread awareness. Congrats to the MBK Team and all who donated for a successful Jimmy Fund. #RallyAgainstCancer

The tax code allows an individual to claim a deduction for business debts that have become worthless. But qualifying for the deduction may be more complicated than one would think.
