For years, pediatric oncology has been one of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s largest allocations of the PMC’s annual gift. PMC Kids Rides fundraising continues to strengthen pediatric research and care at one of the nation’s top pediatric cancer programs.  *“The funds that we derive from PMC impact us is so many different ways. Pediatric cancer only gets a fraction of the attention as well as the money from the government in terms of support, and so we rely on generous donors, riders, as well as families (who) have donated their time, their effort, their sweat to ride. And with that money, collectively, we’re able to do so much.”* *– Dr. Susan Chi, Clinical Director of Pediatric Neuro-Oncology* ## Fundraising Tips We know that normal fundraising techniques will be hard this year.
