Ropes & Gray Team Raises $200,000 in 2026 Pan-Mass Challenge

On August 1 and 2, a team of Ropes & Gray attorneys and support team members participated in the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), a cycling event across 177 miles in Massachusetts, to raise money for cancer research and treatment. The grand total the firm has raised in its more than 25 years sponsoring a team is now almost at $3.8 million, making Ropes & Gray one of the PMC's leading long-time supporters.

The ride, which has raised over $1 billion since its inception, benefits the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, one of the world's premier cancer treatment and research centers.

PMC is one of the firm's most cherished traditions, bringing people together from across different offices, practice groups and generations. This year, Team Ropes was comprised of over 35 members from five offices, including: Ted Alexander, J.R. Ames, Leo Arnaboldi, Jeff Bashara, Greg Bauer, Stefanie Birkmann, Mike Boussy, Doug Brayley, Kathy Buckley, John Bueker, Jayne Costello (Team Coordinator), Jeremy Daniels, JR Drabick, Stephen Eckelkamp, Dan Forman, Donna Frankel, Trevor Fry, Will Hamilton, Keith Higgins, Andrew Lawson, Josh Levy, Patrick MacDonald, Collin Mantz, Ryan McCaffrey (Team Captain), Mark Morrison, Erin Morris, Julianne O’Connor, Ali Olia, Al Rose, Toby Shao, Leanne Sturman, Patrick Welsh, Glenda Watson (Volunteer Captain), Christian Westra, and Marko Zatylny.

The PMC raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the United States. 100% of every dollar raised goes directly to Dana-Farber. To donate, please click here and follow the instructions to make a gift to support the Ropes & Gray team.
