Get ready for the 2013 PMC Kids Rides

Many kids, many bikes, one mission: cure cancer. Kids of all ages find fun, camaraderie, and inspiration in bringing us closer by the mile to the cure for cancer with donations to the Jimmy Fund at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Find a ride

Here are some creative ideas to make fundraising "fun"raising!

  • Have a yard sale 
  • Bake some treats and have a neighborhood bake sale 
  • Run a lemonade stand 
  • Have a car wash 
  • Write a personal letter to send to friends, family, and neighbors. Let them know what you are doing and why you are riding. 
  • Make giving easy - When writing your letters, include a credit card pledge form and a self-addressed stamped envelope. 
  • Take your letter to local businesses to see if they will sponsor your ride. 
  • Send an email to your friends and family letting them know how to donate to your ride online using eGifts. 
  • Remember to write a personal thank you note to all your sponsors. 
  • Set up a refreshment stand at your Youth Soccer Games, Little League Games, or other athletic event. 
  • Offer to do chores for neighbors, friends and family in exchange for a contribution to your ride 
  • Babysit in exchange for a donation 
  • Walk your neighbor's dog for a contribution 
  • Have your family put all their loose change into a donation jar 
  • Involve your classmates and your teacher at school!  Caroline from Hingham in 2007 had a "hat day" with her classmates to raise money for the Kids Ride.
