World's Most Successful Bike-a-thon, the Pan-Mass Challenge, Kicks Off 2022 Ride to Raise Record-Breaking $66 Million for Cancer Research
S For Story/10549736
Thousands of Cyclists will Ride Up to 211 Miles across Massachusetts This Weekend
BOSTON, Aug. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- On Saturday, August 6 and Sunday, August 7, the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) will bring together more than 6,300 registered riders from around the globe for its 43rd ride with the goal of raising a record-breaking $66 million for cancer research and patient care at the world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, Massachusetts.
"We are excited to bring together our dedicated riders, volunteers, donors and sponsors this weekend for our first traditional PMC since 2019 as we raise the fundraising bar for Dana-Farber once again," said Billy Starr, founder and executive director of the PMC. "Our PMC community has demonstrated their unwavering commitment to our mission by raising $114 million over the last two years, and we are collectively focused on achieving another record-breaking gift in 2022."
For the 16th consecutive year, the PMC will donate 100% of every rider-raised dollar to Dana-Farber as its largest single contributor, accounting for 55% of the Jimmy Fund's annual revenue. If the PMC achieves its goal of raising $66 million this year, it will bring its total contributions to more than $897 million since 1980. Since the start of the global pandemic in early 2020, the PMC has raised more than $114 million for Dana-Farber, making a 42-year contribution to Dana-Farber of $831 million.
"As our largest single contributor, we are incredibly grateful for the PMC and its dedicated community that continues to remain steadfast in its commitment to fundraising for critical cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber," said Laurie H. Glimcher, MD, President and Chief Executive Officer of Dana-Farber. "Cancer doesn't stop for anything, so we are especially inspired by the perseverance the PMC community has continued to show over the last two challenging years."

About the Pan-Mass Challenge
The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) is a bikeathon that today raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the world.

The PMC has since raised $831 million for adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund.
