Refrigerated Food Express's donation of a refrigerated trailer for the upcoming Pan Mass Challenge for Food Storage.

2012-06-19

AVON, MA, June 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) Continuing an annual tradition, trucking transport company Refrigerated Food Express, Inc. will once again donate the use of one of their 53-foot long refrigerated trailer for the 2012 Pan Mass Challenge. Refrigerated trailers are traditionally used for food transport and storage, and will be utilized for that purpose once again this year. With the trailer provided by Refrigerated Food Express, cyclists from across Massachusetts will have energy and refreshment as they engage in the important fight against cancer.

The Pan Mass Challenge is a large-scale fundraiser presented in cooperation with the Boston Red Sox Foundation and New Balance. It is a fundraiser well-known for its efficiency. Cyclists participating in one- or two-day long routes through Massachusetts raise pledges, and 100% of the funds raised benefit cancer research at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute through the organization's Jimmy Fund.

The fundraising goal for 2012 is $36 million. The challenge begins on August 4th and continues through the 5th. Held at the hottest part of the summer and encompassing hundreds of miles from thousands of cyclists, food and drink storage is naturally an important issue. That's where Refrigerated Food Express, Inc. comes in. The donation of one of the company's massive refrigerated trailers will help provide energy and refreshment for hundreds of event participants.

Registration has already opened for the 2012 challenge. The activity has existed since 1980 and has raised over $338 million in funds for cancer research since its inception. For several years now, Refrigerated Food Express, Inc. has provided support to those men and women who have accepted the challenge. They are glad to do so once again and throw their support into this important cause.
