Suffield PMC Kids Ride

Pan-Mass Challenge Kids Rides is a way to include young cyclists in the annual benefit for cancer research and treatment.

PMC Kids Rides became an official PMC program in 2005 as a way to include young cyclists in the Pan-Mass Challenge mission raising money for cancer research and treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through its Jimmy Fund. The program engages youth in philanthropy, instills the value of working for the benefit of others, and promotes athletic fitness and physical activity.

The PMC Kids Rides Program offers children, parents, and neighbors an opportunity to work together to create individual bike-a-thons in neighborhoods, at schools, or in business complexes. These rides enable children between the ages of 3 and 15 to ride their bikes and solicit sponsors to donate money to cancer research.

The 2015 Suffield PMC Kids Ride will be held at 10 AM on May 9, 2015 at the McAlister Intermediate School in Suffield. Kids age 3-16 are welcome to ride and we are actively seeking volunteers, sponsors, raffle prizes and other event partners.
