About Us
The Pan-Mass Challenge is a Massachusetts-based bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. Always held the first weekend in August, the PMC raises funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, a world leader in adult and pediatric cancer treatment and research.
Each summer, thousands of riders and volunteers from 43 states and 12 countries participate in the PMC, all with a common goal: to find a cure for cancer.
100 percent of all rider-raised funds go directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund. The PMC is Dana-Farber’s single largest supporter and is 62 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. Since 1980, the PMC has raised $972 million for Dana-Farber.
From there, the ride grew exponentially in its number of riders, volunteers, donors, sponsors, and notably, its fundraising efforts. Today, the PMC has more than:
6,800

Total Raised
"As Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s largest single contributor, the Pan-Mass Challenge accelerates scientific investigations that inform the development of new therapies and personalized plans, impacting patients across all cancers. PMC dollars provide critical seed funding for clinical trials and innovative studies – research that advances early detection, treatment, and prevention of cancer."
Spokes in the Wheel
In addition to PMC weekend, the Pan-Mass Challenge holds events throughout the year, including the PMC Winter Cycle, PMC Unpaved, and PMC Kids Rides. 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar from each of these events goes to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
