Tools & Tips

You've Got This

Commit, you’ll figure it out. But you’ll also have plenty of help along the way. When you register for the PMC, you are signing up for a fundraising mission first and a bike ride second. Our tools and tips will guide you though a successful PMC fundraising campaign.

PMC Dashboard

The PMC Dashboard is the "hub site" for all riders' and volunteers' PMC information. It visually displays fundraising progress, goals, donor communication and gives you easy access to our latest PMC fundraising tools. Additionally, you may update personal information conveniently and quickly.

Use PMC Login in the menu at the top of the page to access your dashboard or create an account.

2022 Key Fundraising Dates

October 1

Fundraising Minimum Deadline

Fundraising can continue through the end of the year, but each PMC rider's fundraising minimum commitment is due October 1. The remaining balance will be charged to the rider's credit card on file.

November 1

Date When Lists Are Pulled for the PMC Yearbook

The fundraising totals as of November 1 will be used in the 2022 PMC Yearbook. The 2022 PMC Heavy Hitter level is $9,500 and Top 10% level is $15,000. Donor overs $5,000 will be listed in the yearbook.

December 31

PMC Fiscal Year End

All donations received through December 31, 2022, are recorded in 2022 fundraising.

However, riders may request to move donations made between November 2 and December 31, 2022, to their 2023 PMC fundraising. Once the donation is received, email PMC Fundraising Coordinator Jessica Otto Guay to request the move to 2023. All requests must be received by December 31.

Successful PMC fundraising messages share two key components with donors:

100 percent of all rider-raised dollars go directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

The 100 percent passthrough highlights the PMC's fundraising efficiency; make sure your donors know and understand that each dollar they donate reaches Dana-Farber and makes a difference.

Your personal reason for participating in the PMC

Each rider and volunteer has their own reason for participating in the PMC, but all are unified by the PMC's mission of funding cancer research and treatment. Let your supporters know why the PMC mission is personal and important to you.

Facebook Fundraisers

Connect your PMC profile page to a Facebook Fundraiser and easily fundraise on social media.

Donations made to your Facebook Fundraiser will immediately be credited to your PMC fundraising and your fundraising total on your Facebook Fundraising and on your PMC profile page will sync.

To create a Facebook Fundraiser, log into your PMC Dashboard. Under Fundraising, select Facebook Fundraiser, then click Create a Facebook Fundraiser and follow the prompts.

Before launching a Facebook Fundraiser, make sure your PMC Profile Page is up to date. Your photo, story, fundraising goal and fundraising total will be published as the foundation of your Facebook Fundraiser.
