The PMC raises money for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. During each annual PMC weekend, thousands of cyclists and volunteers come together from 47 states and 12 countries. Cyclists ride routes ranging from 25 to 177 miles. The PMC, which hopes to raise $79 million this year, amasses more money than any other single athletic fundraiser in the world.
Since its inception in 1980, the PMC has raised $1.125 billion for Dana-Farber, making it the organization’s largest single contributor and accounting for 67% of the annual revenue of the Jimmy Fund, Dana-Farber’s community-driven fundraising arm.
