Concord PMC Kids Ride

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.

On Sunday, June 14, 2015, PMC Kids Rides will be coming to Concord at the Willard Elementary School. Kids ages 5 to 15 are invited to ride either a 1,4,8, or 12 mile route to raise money for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Jimmy Fund while their families cheer them on and enjoy the event. For safety, all PMC Kids riders must be off training wheels and there is a minimum 16 inch wheel size (to the tire edge) for the 1,4,8 & 12 mile rides. There will be a separate 1/4-1/2 mile PMC Kid Jr. Ride for riders with training wheels and those under 5. To participate in the PMC Kids Jr. Ride, follow the same registration process. All registered riders will receive a PMC Kids t-shirt and water bottle. There are no pets allowed at this event.

Since the PMC Concord Kids Ride started in 2008, we have raised over $260,000 towards the fight against cancer. With your help, we look forward to making a significant contribution again this year.

Throughout the day there will be music and activities including face painting, crafts, bike decorating and field games. After the ride there will be a party with refreshments, music, and a rider fundraising recognition ceremony.
