The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge

  • Tue, 12/06/2011 - Sun, 08/26/2012

The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge is an annual bike-a-thon and a pioneer of the athletic fundraising industry that today raises more money for charity than any other single event in the country.
 
It is fully supported bike-a-thon — with 11 routes that range from 50 to 190 miles over one or two days, food and water stops, mechanical and medical assistance, luggage transportation, and lodging — that runs through 46 towns across Massachusetts. Approximately 5,500 cyclists from 36 states and 8 countries will ride in the event with the goal of raising $36 million for cancer research. The 33nd annual PMC is Aug. 4 and 5, 2012
 
The organization was founded in 1980 and has since raised $338 million for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The PMC is a model of fundraising efficiency. The PMC donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to the cause. The PMC generates 60 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue and is Dana-Farber’s single largest contributor. Nearly 300 riders are cancer survivors or current patients. Some PMC cyclists are weekend warriors, others are trained triathletes. Most PMC participants ride in honor of a family member or friend fighting the disease.  For more information about the PMC, visit www.pmc.org

PMC Kids Rides

PMC Kids Rides

  • Tue, 04/24/2012 - Sun, 08/05/2012

 PMC Kids Rides became an official PMC program in 2005 as a way to include young cyclists in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge mission raising money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The program engages youth in philanthropy, instills the value of working for the benefit of others, and promotes athletic fitness and physical activity. The PMC Kids Rides Program offers children, parents, and neighbors an opportunity to work together to create individual bike-a-thons in neighborhoods, at schools, or in business complexes. These rides enable children between the ages of 3 and 15 to ride their bikes and solicit sponsors to donate money to cancer research. For more information about how you can get involved in a PMC Kids Ride near you, or start your own PMC Kids Ride, contact Sarah Mercurio at sarah@pmc.org.
