PMC: Powered by Volunteers
The PMC would not be possible without the thousands of dedicated volunteers who donate their time and energy to support the event during PMC weekend and throughout the year.
By volunteering for the PMC, you transform your energy, compassion and encouragement into furthering cancer research at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
PMC 2022 alumni volunteer registration opens March 30 and general volunteer registration opens April 5.





Why We PMC
As a survivor and wife of a rider who has the greatest respect and love for everyone involved in the PMC... giving back and being here to do it is the greatest gift!
Many (PMCers) are facing what is probably their greatest challenge, at one of the most difficult times in their lives. Go for it, being kind while doing good and smiling!

Register to Volunteer
PMC 2022 alumni volunteer registration opens March 30 and general volunteer registration opens April 5.

Volunteer Ride
Individuals who volunteer PMC weekend are also invited to ride PMC 2022 at a special volunteer fundraising minimum for the 25- and 50-mile routes or as a Reimagined Rider. The fundraising minimums for volunteers riding the 25/50 or Reimagined Ride are $1,000 (reduced from $2,000); the registration fees remain the same.
Rider registration is now open. Fundraising minimums will be adjusted after an individual registers to volunteer.
The 25- and 50-mile routes start at Babson College in Wellesley on Sunday of PMC weekend and are open to riders ages 13+.
The Reimagined Ride is not a PMC weekend route. Reimagined Riders are able to ride wherever, whenever and however far they so choose, however, they agree they will not ride the PMC routes on PMC weekend (August 6 and 7, 2022).

Each volunteer will need to register through their own account so we have their information on file, including their signatures on the PMC waiver and volunteer agreement. For anyone under 18, a parent or legal guardian will need to sign the waiver and agreement on their behalf. Each volunteer must select a volunteer shift and complete registration through their own account. If your family wants to volunteer together, make sure there are enough shifts available at that site before signing up.
-
No. Please only register for a position if you are able to stay for the full duration of your shift. Volunteers who arrive late or leave early increase the burden on their fellow volunteers and negatively impact the experience for riders. If, after registering, you have a conflict that will make it impossible for you to stay for the duration of your shift, please email volunteer@pmc.org and we can cancel your shift for you.
