TESARO Partners With the Pan-Mass Challenge for 2018 Ride Benefiting Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
02 July 2018 - 11:00PM
TESARO, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSRO), an oncology-focused biopharmaceutical
company, is proud to announce a new partnership supporting the
Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC). The PMC is the nation’s most successful
athletic fundraising event, raising money for cancer research and
treatment at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through a yearly
bike-a-thon that crosses the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The
39th PMC will take place on August 4-5 with routes of varying
distance.
“We’re happy to welcome TESARO to the PMC family
as we approach this year’s ride,” said Billy Starr, PMC founder and
executive director. “Commitment to the fight against cancer is at
the core of our organization, and we are grateful that TESARO
shares that mindset and for their support as we pursue a
record-setting $52 million fundraising goal this year.”
“We are excited to partner with the Pan-Mass
Challenge for this historic event benefiting the great work being
done at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute,” said Lonnie Moulder, CEO of
TESARO. “We look forward to building this relationship with PMC to
continue advancing our collective mission of improving the lives of
people facing cancer.”
This August, more than 6,200 cyclists and 4,000
volunteers will participate in the two-day bike-a-thon with the
goal of raising $52 million for Dana-Farber. If achieved, this
fundraising goal will bring the organization’s cumulative
contribution to more than $650 million since its inception in 1980.
One hundred percent of every rider-raised dollar goes directly to
the cause, and the PMC is Dana-Farber’s largest single contributor
of the Jimmy Fund’s annual revenue.

About the Pan-Mass ChallengeThe
Pan-Mass Challenge is a bike-a-thon that today raises more money
for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the
world. The 39th PMC will take place on August 4 and 5, 2018. The
PMC was founded in 1980 by Bill Star, who remains the event’s
executive director, an annual cyclist and a fundraiser. The PMC has
since raised $598 million for adult and pediatric patient care and
cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the Jimmy
Fund. The event donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar
directly to the cause. The PMC generates more than 53% of the Jimmy
Fund’s annual revenue and is the Dana-Farber’s single largest
contributor. The PMC has successfully melded support from committed
cyclists, volunteers, corporate sponsors and individual
contributors. All are essential to the PMC’s goal and model: to
attain maximum fundraising efficiency while increasing its annual
gift. The PMC’s hope and aspiration is to provide Dana-Farber’s
doctors and researches with the necessary resources to discover
cures for cancer. For more information on the Pan-Mass Challenge,
