Boston-based Dana-Farber Cancer Institute received a $78 million gift from the Pan-Mass Challenge, an annual bike-a-thon across Massachusetts. 

Since its foundation in 1980, the event has raised $1.125 billion for Dana-Farber, according to a Nov. 2 news release from the institute. 

One hundred percent of every rider-raised dollar from the Pan-Mass Challenge goes directly to Dana-Farber, making the fundraiser Dana-Farber’s largest single contributor, the release said.

At the Becker's Perioperative Summit, taking place September 14–15 in Chicago, perioperative leaders and healthcare executives will focus on improving operating room efficiency, enhancing patient safety, optimizing staffing and driving innovation across surgical services.
