Online auction raises funds for cancer research

May 8, 2025

Designed by Iryna Chernova 

An online auction of goods, services, and experiences to benefit the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, ran from May 4 to 17.

The sale, dubbed “heARTfelt,” includes art, jewelry, woodcrafts, food and drink, health and fitness, photography, vacations, and more. Visit the auction site to register, bid and donate.

Ellen Eisner, who has organized the fund-raiser, established heARTfelt in 2023 as an in-person arts, crafts, and jewelry fundraiser. Held at her home in 2023 and 2024, it was “an amazing event,” but this year, she says, “In order to reach more people, I am taking my event online and hosting an online auction.”

Donations will benefit the Center for Cancer Vaccines at Dana-Farber.

Eisner adds, “I am a passionate fundraiser on behalf of Dana-Farber. This will be my 10th year doing the Jimmy Fund Walk and my 6th as a team captain. It is a cause about which I care deeply – driven by my own cancer diagnosis in 2016, my husband’s just last year, and too many friends and family members to count.”
