On Tuesday, July 22, 900 Eaton Vance employees and hundreds of businesspeople in and around Two International Place, Boston, are invited to loosen their ties, roll up their sleeves and kick off their heels to take swings at mini golf inside the large lobby to raise money for the upcoming Boston Marathon® Jimmy Fund Walk. Tee time is between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Since 2000, up to 35 Eaton Vance team members have participated in the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk each year, cumulatively raising more than $760,000 for the lifesaving adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. On Sept. 21, 2014, the team will walk together in the Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk.

Nine holes of mini golf will be set up inside the lobby to give businesspeople a chance to have fun playing mini golf while raising money for a big cause. Attendees will also have a shot at the 50-foot putt challenge!

The suggested minimum fundraising fee is $10 per person. Attendees will be entered into opportunity drawings with items ranging from baseball caps to Red Sox tickets. Eaton Vance is sponsoring the inaugural event and will match employee contributions dollar for dollar up to $2,000.
