The Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC) community came together at Rochambeau Restaurant in Boston on Sunday, Nov. 2, for the 2025 PMC Check Presentation. The annual event held by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s largest donor celebrated the extraordinary efforts of riders, volunteers, and donors, with 100% of every rider-raised dollar supporting Dana-Farber. Guests enjoyed brunch and drinks while sharing in the honor and excitement of unveiling the 2025 gift—a record-breaking total of $78 million raised through PMC weekend, PMC Unpaved, PMC Winter Cycle, and PMC Kids Rides.
