Case Study: Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's Granite Day Corporate Partnership

In 2006, Rob Hale Sr., father of Quincy, Mass.-based Granite Telecommunications founder and CEO Rob Hale Jr. and chairman of the company, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Soon after, he became a patient at DFCI, which is missioned to provide expert, compassionate care to those with cancer while advancing the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, cure and prevention of cancer and related diseases. And while Hale Sr. ultimately passed away from the disease, the Hale family could not have been more grateful for the care DFCI provided its loved one.
