The iconic New England-based restaurant brand continues decades-long partnership with Pan-Mass Challenge to raise funds for cancer research and patient care at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

BOSTON, MASS. - (August 2, 2022) -​​ Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Group, the iconic New England-based restaurant brand with over 20 locations along the East Coast, is continuing their longstanding partnership with the Pan-Mass Challenge (PMC), a Massachusetts-based bike-a-thon that raises more money for charity than any other single athletic fundraising event in the country. The PMC donates 100 percent of every rider-raised dollar directly to Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and is the Institute’s largest single contributor, accounting for more than 55 percent of the annual revenue at The Jimmy Fund®. 

“Legal Sea Foods is honored to continue our partnership with the PMC, and we’re proud to support their tremendous efforts in raising funds for life-saving cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.” said Ann Marie Escobar, Brand President and Chief Operating Officer of Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Group.

Under the partnership, Legal Sea Foods Restaurant Group will donate 400 gallons of their legendary New England Clam Chowder to the 43rd Pan-Mass Challenge on August 6 - 7, 2022. Legal Sea Foods has been a beloved partner of the PMC for over 30 years.

“We are grateful for Legal Sea Foods long-term partnership with the PMC,” said Glynn Hawley, Director of Operations at the PMC. “A cup of Legal Sea Foods’ clam chowder, which is a staple here in Massachusetts, is something our thousands of riders look forward to enjoying each August as they complete their days ride.”

PMC 2022 will take place on Saturday, August 6, and Sunday, August 7, across Massachusetts, where over 6,300 cyclists will ride between 25 and 211 miles over the course of two days.
