Dana-Farber & PMC Impact
The PMC Winter Cycle, a spoke in the wheel of the Pan-Mass Challenge, contributes to the annual gift to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund.
The PMC has raised more than $1 billion for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since its launch in 1980. Today, the PMC is the single largest contributor to Dana-Farber and the Jimmy Fund and is responsible for 66 percent of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue.
Our hope and aspiration is to provide Dana-Farber's doctors and researchers the necessary resources to discover cures for cancer.
