The Red Sox Team 9 Family, made up of employees, friends and family of the Boston Red Sox, will join over 4,000 cyclists from around the country on Aug. 5 and 6, when they ride192 miles in the Pan-Massachusetts Challenge. The PMC has established a $40 million goal for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and the Jimmy Fund. You can help the Boston Red Sox Team 9 in their effort to raise $300,000 by making a credit card donation by clicking the eGift button on this page.The PMC is the Jimmy Fund's largest contributor, responsible for generating 46 percent of its annual revenue. The annual cycling event raises and contributes more money to charity than any athletic fundraising event in the nation. Team 9 was named in honor of the baseball hero Ted Williams who was almost as famous for his commitment to the Jimmy Fund as he was as a hitter. Until his final days, Williams maintained close relationships with children being treated for cancer at the Jimmy Fund Clinic. Supporting the Jimmy Fund is very important to the Boston Red Sox. The PMC is an efficient and inspiring way to raise crucial funds for cancer research. We are happy our team is riding in the event. Since Team 9 was formed in 2003, they have raised over $8.4 million for PMC.
