Help feed BMC patients by joining Team BMC Sunday, September 27, as we participate in the Ride & Stride for Food. We’re building a team of riders and walkers who want to put their belief in a healthier Boston into action by raising funds for food access programs. The first ride route begins at 8:15 am. See event schedule below.
How To Participate
Whether you choose the 5K walk or the 25-, 50-, or 62.5-mile biking routes, your miles mean more BMC patients can have healthy meals.
Participants are asked to fundraise or donate at least $350 in addition to a registration fee of $85. New to fundraising or worried about reaching your goal? We’ll share some tools to help you get there!

What You Make Possible
Good nutrition is key to health. Team BMC will raise funds for Nourishing Our Community, a BMC initiative focused on increasing access to nutritious food for our patients and community. Here are a few things philanthropy helps us do:
- Distribute over 1 million pounds of nutritious food from our hospital-based Preventive Food Pantry each year
- Grow 10,000+ pounds of fresh food on our two rooftop farms on BMC’s main campus
- Educate our community through more than 14 monthly Teaching Kitchen classes, offering tailored cooking and nutrition information to help manage conditions like diabetes, depression, sickle cell disease, and more
