Roberta McNulty

Roberta McNulty has been an active volunteer with the Friends of Dana-Farber for almost fifteen years. Along with Jane May, Roberta co-manages the Friends' Corner Gift Shop. They spend many hours selecting and purchasing merchandise, coordinating staffing, managing inventory and displaying items for sale. Profits from the all-volunteer gift shop help support research and patient care programs at Dana-Farber.

Roberta has also served as vice president for patient services. She is a past recipient of the Sidney Farber Volunteer Award and was recognized by a local television station as one of its "hometown heroes" for her work with Dana-Farber.

She and her husband Steve, who is a dedicated platelet donor at Dana-Farber, live in Sharon. They enjoy skiing, traveling and spending as much time as possible with their grandchildren. Roberta says, "I am so appreciative of the opportunity to work with the wonderful volunteers who staff the gift shop and serve on the Friends' Board, all the while helping out the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute."
