helping to raise

money

POMFRET — Aug. 2 and 3 five residents from Pomfret will participate in the 35th annual Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), the largest athletic fund-raising event in the country. John DiIorio, Maureen Nicholson, Jason and Lindsey Verraneault and Richard Schad of ‘Team Perseverance’ will be among 5,800 cyclists who will ride with the collective goal of raising $40 million to support adult and pediatric patient care and cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy Fund.  

In 2014, cyclists are required to raise between $500 and $4,300 to ride in the PMC. More than a bike ride, this commitment to the fundraising portion of the PMC is a testament to riders’ dedication to the cause and their belief in the PMC mission. 

To make a financial contribution to a rider from your town, visit www.pmc.org, or call (800) WE-CYCLE. Connect with #PMC2014 on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn.
