the application came through the mail. Billy Starr has done a great
job in making it a fun weekend.

| This will be my first year. It's a little difficult getting in on the
action due to the unique rules of having the money up front. I wish
this could change ........ But I believe in this cause enough to do
what I have to to get the funds in on time. Anyway, I'd love to be
one of those folks with the distinctive DEC jerseys at the end. I know
that I'll finish ..... I don't have a DEC jersey though. If anyone
has a source for them, Please let me know. See you all in "Ptown".

I was considering doing the PMC this year for the first time.
But the $100 upfront and $700 in pledges is keeping me out, including
the fact the rider is held accountable for people who pledge and then
do not follow thru.
I know other riders who feel the same way. It certainly
is a good cause but the cost to the rider should be what ever she/he
pledges along with the additional pledges brought in.
Have Fun, Paul

| 1913.6 | It's worth it... | CTHQ1::FRERE | Ellas Danzan Solas | Tue Apr 30 1991 18:15 | 21 |
| Re: .5
I know how you feel, $800 is a lot of shekels... But you have to look
at it from the other side, the PMC team really put on a class weekend.
I was VERY impressed. Billy Starr, the director (and the guy who
started it all) really breaks his b*tt to keep costs down (over 90%
goes to the Dana-Farber) and space is limited. Imagine opening it up
to riders who comes up with $10 or even $100; you would have thousands
upon thousands of people swarming into Sturbridge. The cost per dollar
would make it inefficient to run and the Dana-Farber would be the
ultimate losers (not to mention, the patients).
I found that collecting the $$ was the toughest part. As a helpful
hint, ask for pament up front (or a post-dated check) so you don't have
to chase them around when you are finished. With DEC matching, Nancy
and I (tandem) were able to collect over $5400 ($2400: DEC employees;
$2400: DEC matching; rest: non-DEC contributions).
I hope that you reconsider and sign up. It will be a lifetime memory.

| 1913.7 | Matching | JUPITR::MURPHY | | Tue May 28 1991 15:58 | 13 |
| This is my first year
I've watched it go by our house at the Cape for years. I'll be riding
with a friend of mine whose 1 1/2 yr old daughter had cancer and is
very committed to and thankful to the Jimmy Fund.
It's not hard to raise the money ,
I was wondering how the DEC match worked. Do you have people pay
you and then you claim the total donation and get it matched or
do you process individually ?

| 1913.8 | DEC Matching PMC Donations | CTHQ1::FRERE | Ellas Danzan Solas | Wed May 29 1991 10:43 | 29 |
| Re: .7.
The way that I will do this year will be a little different (and less
painful) than last year. When you ask for a pledge from a DEC
employee, get their badge number and also ask if they would like to pay
at that point (accept a post-dated check for mid-August if they don't
have the $$). The checks should be made out to PMC - Jimmy Fund. By
asking ahead of time will relieve you from having to track them down
afterwards... If you get money of a non-post-dated check, send it to
PMC so that they can benefit from it NOW (and you don't have to worry
about loosing it).
Once your list is complete, make another list of all DEC contributors.
The list should contain their name, badge and amount - with a total at
the bottom. Fill out 1 matching gift form. Send all that stuff to the
PMC ($$, contribution form, DEC list and matching gift form). That's it!!
One problem that I ran into is that DEC will not process a matching
gift over $1000. If you anticipate getting more than that, fill out
enough forms so that none exceed $1000. You will need to use one of
your DEC contributor's name on each of the other forms. This will not
affect their matching gift benefit as you are allowed to have DEC match
up to $1000 per year PER CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION. They would not be able
to have DEC match another donation to PMC - Jimmy Fund during that year
only.
If this is not clear, you can contact me at DTN 227-3969

The time for the 1991 Pan Massachusetts Challenge is quickly
approaching: August 9 and 10. We are asking for your sponsorship.
Last year, thanks to your support and Digital matching funds we raised
over $5400. This year, we hope to surpass that level of contribution.
The Pan-Massachusetts Challenge benefits the Jimmy Fund and the
world-renowned Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The ride is in its 12th
year. In 1990, the PMC raised $1.3 million for the Jimmy Fund - 92% of
all donations received. The PMC is the largest single benefit for the
Jimmy Fund and is the largest cycling fund-raiser in the world.
The ride is from Sturbridge to Provincetown, 192 miles in a weekend.
We spend Saturday evening in Bourne at the Mass Maritime Academy. The
finish is at the Provincetown Inn. The PMC ferry back to Boston
carries only riders and volunteers. And no matter how tired people
feel arriving in P-town, dancing the entire trip back to Boston is the
norm.
Cycling with 900 other people who are each doing what they can to
contribute toward cancer research is an overwhelming experience. The
ride is a lot of fun - but it's hard work, too. There is a tremendous
spirit of camaraderie, outreach and personal commitment. Riders of all
ages, shapes and abilities, riding all forms of bicycles, participate.
Especially in the last 40 miles, through the hills of Wellfleet and
Truro and into head winds approaching P-town, riders push on with
thoughts of people who have had the spirit to fight cancer with
determination and dignity.
The vision of PMC riders and the Dana-Farber is to win the ultimate
battle against cancer. Help us move closer to achieving that vision.
Please sponsor us for the 1991 PMC. An added bonus: sponsors of $50
or more receive special thanks - a personalized jar of honey direct
from Eric's bee hives.
Contact Eric Frere @TAY, DTN:227-3969 or Nancy Lind @TAY, DTN:227-3917.
Many thanks,
Eric and Nancy

Let's see how do I say / ask this???
Sherron Benoit at 'corporate' is trying to get the OK to 'donate' the
use for 3 DEC van to the PMC for the weekend. The only problem is that
corporate require DEC employees to drive them.
If anyone is interested in being a volunteer to drive a van please
contact Sherron at dtn 296-4271.
From what she said the PMC does not have ANY van at this time.

What would the vans be used for? By describing it's use, it may be
easier to convince people to donate their time. Would it be for the
weekend? What about accomodations?

I don't have any details as to how the vans would be used and I'm not
sure if Sherron would know for sure either. I have not heard whether
their use has been approved yet either.
The best I could do is to guess they would be used for support of some
sort.
If anyone is interested Sherron would have the best info from the DEC
side.
Sorry for the lack of info.

PMC '88,'89,'90,'91 ....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good morning!
Yesterday, Sunday, Dec. 8th the PMC held their check presentation.
The presentation included the acknowledgment of the "Heavy
Hitter's" speeches by various dignitaries and viewing of the 1991
video, which ended with the announcement of the amount WE raised.
This years Pan-Mass Challenge presented the Jimmy Fund with a
check in the amount of $1.55 million. Loretta and I were pleased
to contribute over $5,100 towards that total thanks to your support.
AND!!! Mark your calendar! The video/documentary will be aired
DEC 26th at 7:30 on WCVB, channel 5 (in place of Chronicle).
Watch for it! I think you'll enjoy it and you will see what your
support means.
Although, in the coming year, Loretta will not be joining me as
a rider, she will be volunteering her services to the '92 ride.
BUT, I won't be 'alone'. As my brother Mark has committed to
ride with me in memory of our brother Steve.
On behalf of the entire Brightman family, Loretta & I would like
to thank you for your support, past, present and future.
Sincerely,
Tim

The primetime TV coverage of the 1991 PMC was inspirational!
I taped it, and plan to show it to other club members with hopes
of recruiting some more riders for 1992 (myself included!)
