On Friday, July 7, the Boston Red Sox and Red Sox Foundation commemorated the foundation’s 21-year commitment as a co-presenting sponsor of the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) with PMC Night at Fenway Park. A special on-field pre-game ceremony recognized the unparalleled impact the PMC has made since 1980, having raised $900 million for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute (Dana-Farber). During the ceremony, 50 members of the PMC Living Proof community, PMC riders and volunteers who are currently undergoing or have undergone treatment for cancer, rode around the warning track while being cheered on by Red Sox Nation, followed by the official unveiling of the PMC logo on the iconic Green Monster. Miami Beach local and cancer survivor, Devorah Jacobson was among those honored on Friday night.
On Saturday, August 5 and Sunday, August 6, the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), the nation’s single most successful athletic fundraiser, will bring together 6,400 riders and over 3,000 volunteers for its 44th ride. In 2023, the PMC has a record-breaking goal of raising $70 million for cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber which, if achieved, will bring the organization’s contributions in the fight against cancer to $970 million since 1980. The PMC donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar to Dana-Farber as its largest single contributor, accounting for more than 60 percent of its Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue. The PMC is co-presented by the Red Sox Foundation and M&T Bank.
