Team Shawmut has accumulated more than $1,630,000 in total fundraising since its inception, with monies raised directly supporting the research being conducted by Dana-Farber’s Dr. Christopher Sweeney, who participated with the team in its reimagined ride in Boston, marking his seventh year riding with Team Shawmut.
The team has consistently raised more than $100,000 a year to support Sweeney’s efforts — enabling him to create a unique database of cancer specimens, which allows his team to find the key causes of incurable cancer and to test a new drug designed to make standard therapies more effective.
“The PMC has become a longstanding tradition for Shawmut, and the team was as inspired as ever for this year’s reimagined ride,” said Les Hiscoe, CEO of Shawmut. “We were proud to reinforce our unwavering commitment to Dana-Farber in the fight against cancer in a new, safe way. I couldn’t be prouder of our riders who continue to embody Shawmut’s culture and support employees, family, and friends who are affected by cancer.”
Team Shawmut’s reimagined PMC consisted of socially distant, small group rides in Massachusetts and New York — allowing riders to contribute and fundraise while abiding by CDC guidelines to ensure safety remained the priority.
