Pan-Mass Challenge Revenue and Competitors

The mission of the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge is to raise money for life-saving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The catalyst for the fundraising effort is a bike-a-thon that crosses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Committed cyclists, volunteers, corporate sponsors, and individual financial contributors are essential to the PMC achieving this goal. Since it’s founding in 1980, the PMC has been increasingly successful in mobilizing the support of all these constituencies. We strive to inspire even more proponents of our cause and intend the money we raise to afford Dana-Farber’s doctors and researchers the resources necessary to discover cures for all cancers. The PMC is able to give more than 93 percent of funds raised directly to the Jimmy Fund because the event is run almost entirely by volunteers! The “give the riders whatever they need” spirit, which is so much a part of the PMC, is fueled by the 1,900 volunteers who make the event happen each year! The PMC spirit is a special bond that exists between the PMC volunteers and riders.
