The Pan-Mass Challenge is a nonprofit organization that raises funds for Dana-Farber Cancer Institute's cancer research and treatment through an annual bike-a-thon across Massachusetts. Since its founding in 1980, the event has united cyclists, volunteers, corporate sponsors, and individual contributors as essential participants in its fundraising model. The organization emphasizes fundraising efficiency while increasing the annual contribution to Dana-Farber to support doctors and researchers in their work toward cures for cancer. Based in Needham Heights, Massachusetts, the organization operates as a mid-sized nonprofit supported by a broad network of riders and supporters. In 2026, PMC announced a ten-year partnership with the Massachusetts Maritime Academy, expanding collaboration with an academic institution in the region. In late 2025 the organization appointed Belle Nace as Fundraising Coordinator to support year-round fundraising, donor engagement, and rider and event initiatives.
