Spring 2024

Dear Family and Friends,

“One in a Billion” - that’s this year’s Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) fundraising slogan. The PMC has donated $972 MILLION to the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (DFCI) since 1980. This year’s fundraising – expected to exceed last year’s $72 Million - will enable the PMC to surpass the $1Billion mark. Amazing, and inspiring!

Team Donahue Duo - Annie & Bill Donahue - will be participating again in this year’s Pan Mass Challenge on August 3-4th, riding the 2-day Sturbridge to Provincetown route, to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The PMC is the nation’s most successful single-event athletic fundraiser, and provides 62% of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. 100 percent of all rider raised funds go directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber! Check out The PMC Origin Story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qjY7bK5ogGE

We’ll be riding to honor both friends & family lost to cancer, and to support those who are currently impacted by cancer. With your support, we hope to reach our team fundraising goal of $12,000 to support Dana-Farber’s dedicated cancer research efforts. We thank you in advance for your generosity! Whatever the amount**, your donation is greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible and can be made online at https://profile.pmc.org/TD0256, via check, or via Venmo (see details below).

** For Donations of $100.00 or greater made by Oct 1, 2024, your name will be entered into a drawing to win a handcrafted wooden flag. See examples at https://profile.pmc.org/TD0256/gallery
