Our Game Plan
Riding the PMC as part of a team, any team, has certain advantages - camaraderie, shared knowledge between experienced and novice riders, and the ability to work toward tackling the distance and fundraising "challenges" as a team! Team CHUCKLE's game plan for the 2011 Pan-Mass Challenge is a simple one:
1. A long distance bike ride to fight cancer is more enjoyable when riding alongside some of Boston's top comedians and fellow team members who like to laugh! Team CHUCKLE's motto is "Pedal Hard, Laugh Harder," and our goal for 2011 is to field a team of 50 new and veteran PMC riders who believe that laughter - and a healthy dose of sweat - really can be the best medicine in the fight against cancer. If this describes you, click here to join us!
2. Meeting individual fundraising commitments is made easier by hosting the "Pan-Mass Chuckle" comedy event and attracting corporate sponsorships. Some may believe that raising $4200 is a greater challenge than pedaling 192 miles. Each PMC rider commits to raise a minimum of between $1000 and $4200 depending on the length of the route they sign up to ride. Team CHUCKLE member can help meet - and exceed - their fundraising goals by selling tickets to the Team's "Pan-Mass Chuckle" comedy showcase featuring Team CHUCKLE comedians and other Boston celebrities. In addition, Team CHUCKLE will offer dozens of corporate sponsorship - from logos on Team CHUCKLE jerseys to comedy event program sponsors - with all sponsorship proceeds credited directly to the PMC fundraising account of individual team members who solicit the sponsorships.

Meet the Team CHUCKLE Comedians
Jimmy Dunn is best known for his sports humor, but his range of topics is a whole lot broader. He added to an impressive list of accomplishments recently when he performed for the first time as part of Denis Leary's "Comics Come Home" event at the Agganis Arena in Boston, which bring the best national comedy talent back to Boston to raise money for the fight against cancer. He?s familiar to Red Sox fans as ?Jimmy the Cabbie?, from the Emmy nominated series of commercials for Olympia Sports that he writes and produces. When he?s not driving a cab, Jimmy headlines comedy clubs across the country including rooms in Las Vegas, Atlantic City, New York, Los Angeles and of course, Boston.
Don Zollo (to be pronounced as one word in the vane of Cher, Madonna or Sting) spent 2 years on the Boston comedy scene 4-5 nights a week becoming a regular at comedy clubs throughout Massachusetts. After 2 years LA came calling for him to go out and work on his craft in a new environment. Don has been a semi finalist or finalist in numerous competitions and continues to take his act to the next level through massive, consistent, creative action. His humor comes from both his everyday experiences including growing up around Boston, his sexual adventures and misadventures and out of the norm events whether it be ACCIDENTALLY punching a female midget in the face in front of a roomful of people he was trying to impress or playing football with Tom Brady. Don Zollo thoroughly enjoys making the world a better place one immature story at a time as well as referring to himself in the third person. STAY AWESOME!
