Amy’s 2023 Extra-Mile Award

Amy Killeen was honored with the 2023 “Extra Mile Award,” an award presented to someone who has “gone the extra mile” and embodies leadership, commitment to Dana-Farber’s core values, and the ability to motivate. The annual award recipient is personally selected by the Jimmy Fund Walk staff.

Amy was among a select group of awardees recognized for their fundraising and commitment in the 35th Jimmy Fund Walk event, a record-breaking year for the Jimmy Fund Walk with more than 8,400 walkers, 700 volunteers, and fundraising that officially surpassed $9.4 million. Amy is a trusted member of the Jimmy Fund Walk’s Advisory Board and the Co-Captain of Team Tara. She has walked for 10 years and has cumulatively raised $126K+.

“It is truly remarkable to see the dedication of individuals who have invested their time, passion, and energy in supporting this event, furthering critical research at Dana-Farber,” said Suzanne Fountain, vice president of the Jimmy Fund. “Amy has demonstrated her commitment to defy cancer and exemplifies the spirit of this event. We are proud to honor Amy with the ‘Extra Mile Award’ award to recognize all she does for Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund.”
