| Harpoon Brewery is proud to support the Pan-Mass Challenge,Nation's Most Successful Bike-a-Thon, to benefit the Jimmy Fund and the Dana Farber Cancer Institute | | The Pan Mass Challenge, presented by the Boston Red Sox and Overstock.com, is the nation’s original fundraising bike-a-thon and today raises more money than any other athletic fundraising event in the country.
 The PMC is a model of fundraising efficiency. In 2007, the PMC donated 100% of every rider-raised dollar directly to cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The PMC is so well-known in cycling and fundraising circles that each year people travel from around the world to participate. The camaraderie shared by riders, volunteers, and supporters is among the PMC's greatest attributes. Doctors at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute join their patients as teammates, riding for a unified goal. Over 200 PMC riders are cancer survivors. Thousands of riders and volunteers have lost loved ones to the disease. Still more ride in honor of those in treatment.
The PMC has contributed more than $200 million to lifesaving cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute since its 1980 inception.
On August 2 and 3, 2008, over 5,400 cyclists will travel nine different routes, logging between 70 and 192 miles over one or two days, through 46 scenic Massachusetts towns. This year's fundraising goal is $34 million!
