The Willie Fund

Raise money for The Willie Fund

About The Willie Fund:

The Willie Fund was started in honor of William J. Finigan, but known to most as "Willie", who passed away on August 26th 2021 from Squamous Cell Carcinoma, a type of Head and Neck Cancer.

The Willie Fund works directly with Mass Eye and Ear Infirmary, part of Mass General Brigham, and the dedicated doctors who treated Willie, allocating all donations specifically to help fund further research for Head & Neck Cancer. 

Our hope is to ultimately find a cure so that no one has to lose their loved one as young and as sudden as we did Willie.
