I thought I'd share a little bit of background info on where all the money raised in the Pan-Mass Challenge ($240 million since 1980) goes. The sole beneficiary of the PMC is the Jimmy Fund, the fundraising arm of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. Opened in 1947, Dana-Farber provides compassionate care for children and adults living with cancer. It is also one of the premiere cancer research facilities in the world, where everyday scientists and doctors are working together to develop innovative treatments and cures for the family of diseases.
Your donations simultaneously support compassionate and world-class care for patients currently fighting cancer and cutting-edge research to help future cancer patients. And best of all, 100% of your donation will go directly to the Jimmy Fund. Very few athletic fundraisers are able to do that, and certainly no other does it with a $35 million check.
I strongly believe that supporting the Pan-Mass Challenge with a financial gift is one of the best ways to advance the excellent care and research at Dana-Farber. Investing in Dana-Farber is an investment in a cancer-free future.
