PMC-Young Professional "Mixer"

Danielle and I since year 1, always saw the PMC as an opportunity to meet awesome people as well as potential boyfriends. Well, its now year 6(!) and we already have boyfriends(non-PMCers, but they will do) but we still lack a giant network of awesome bike fighting cancer freaks like ourselves. In the yearly survey post-PMC weekend we make it a point to mention our desire to have more events dedicated to the "younger" group of riders in the PMC. Hey, we realize the average age is 45, but that doesn't mean there inst a rising generation of millennial tackling this annual bike-a-thon!
This year alone there have been not 1, but 2 events dedicated to our crowd, and last night Danielle and I got to attend one!
It was held at the Charlesmark Hotel in Back Bay. We (well, I because Danielle is still semi-jobless) popped over after work. The lounge is small, intimate and well designed. The PMC event was on the "top" level and it was a great space to meet some really wonderful PMC riders and staff. Seriously, Pan Mass riders, volunteers, and staff are pretty much be the coolest kids on the block.
Danielle and I discussed our lack of fundraising to date this year. Which, if we are being honest, has become the norm over the last few years. It takes a lot of effort to throw together events for fundraising and we haven't quite figured out how to make them profitable yet. Now that Danielle is back from her 3 year hiatus in D.C., we are planning on brainstorming ways to get to our fundraising goals and beyond!

PMC is just ONE MONTH away. Time to get cracking!
