Boston Celtics Honor Heather Walker by Naming Media Center After Her

Honoring Heather Walker’s Legacy

The Boston Celtics recently unveiled the Heather Walker Media Center at their practice facility in Brighton, MA. Heather Walker, who served as the senior vice president of public relations, lost her battle with stage 4 glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer, earlier this year.

Despite her diagnosis, Walker exhibited remarkable strength and resilience, initiating the “Move 4 Heather” fundraising campaign, which has successfully raised over $700,000 for glioblastoma research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
