For researchers and treatment specialists the Jimmy Fund is Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, which made history with the first remissions in childhood leukemia more than 58 years ago and today continues to make advances against this dreaded disease. Dana-Farber’s Jimmy Fund Clinic remains one of the world’s premier centers for pediatric cancer research and treatment and is part of a medical complex that has made innumerable inroads in the treatment of adult cancers as well.

The Grove Spot is the locals' hangout on Friday nights, add the Solar Dogs and you have a real party. The fundraiser is from 5 to 10 pm, the Solar Dogs start at 7 pm.

And every first Thursday, the next one is tomorrow, June 3, The Grove Spot hosts the Neighborhood Pro-Am Jam. This is a laid-back local musicians' showcase and gathering, a place for singers and players to stand up and showcase their original work or sit-in and show off their favorite cover tunes, or both.

Even if you sing, but don't play, or play but don't sing, you might just leave here as the Next Big Thing. Come out to play your own music for the masses, then stick around to goof off with others who share your noisy habits.

Pre-Registration for Artists starts at 7:00 pm.
Show is from 8:00 to 11 pm.
Hosted by "Robby Robb" and Mike "Sir Nasty."
