Pan-Mass Challenge

http://www.pmc.org/egifts/giftinfo.asp?EgiftID=PS0130

$175 so far Rob!! Only $3425 to go!!

Thanks to all who have made a donation so far!

Here is why this is such a great organization and a such a great event.

The Pan Mass Challenge is the largest and most successful athletic fundraising event in the United States. In 2006, PMC riders raised 26 million dollars; 99 percent of which went directly to the Jimmy Fund. The Jimmy Fund supports the fight against cancer in children and adults at Boston's Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Only one cent of each dollar raised through riders sweat and determination was used for administrative and organizational expenses. The PMC is considered among the leanest of fundraising organizations in the nation today.

This is truly a cause worth supporting!

Remember that your contribution is tax deductible—any amount will help!

Please pass along the information to friends and family and consider asking your company for a matching gift!

felloffmybike - 2007-01-19 10:30 AM Sorry to get off topic Pam, just think of it as a bump BUT, I heard last night at practice that most triathlon race entry fees are tax deductible because most races end up being for charity in the end.

Take it from the tax guy, they are not.  You don't get a charitable deduction if you get something in return.

Okay people—the important thing to note is that any donation you make toward this effort, no matter what the amount IS tax deductible.

Sorry Pam...did not mean to confuse the issue.  Yes, if you give to this cause, it will  be tax deductible.  Your entry fee into a race that donates money to charity is most likely not tax deductible.

So in other words, give lots of money to Pam for the Pan-Mass challenge.
