Cisco Community Connect is now online

So here we are Sunday AM going over the Bourne Bridge at 5:30.



I've got nothing in my legs and am wondering how I'm going to cover the remaining 80 miles to Provincetown. More on that later.

October 1, the day PMC accounts close, is rapidly approaching.

Many of you have been holding donations or match requests ... waiting for the new Cisco giving site to go online. Well, I'm happy to report it is now functional. And as always, every little bit counts, so I hope you can find the time to get into the new system and submit your donations and/or match requests.

To make a contribution or request a match for a previous contribution, first access Cisco Community Connect

At the left under "Search for Organizations and Schools", enter "pan mass".

You will see a pick list with "Pan Massachusetts Challenge" near the bottom...select it.

On the Account Detail, either press "Make a Donation" or "Request a Match"

Select Campaign "General giving"

You next be dropped into the Donation Information page. Its very important to specify "PD0109 Paul Duffy" for designation.

The rest should be fairly straight forward. If you have any issues with this, come see me and I'll help resolve your problem.

Full event report coming in October. It would be very difficult doing this event without your help. Thanks again for your support of PMC and Dana Farber!

Back for more...Cisco rides Pan Mass 2009

This August 1/2, I'll again be joining Team Cisco to make the 200 mile trek across Massachusetts to raise money for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. A tough ride, and a really tough year for fund raising, but we decided to push forward. Its really important...PMC provides over half of the annual funds for DFCI's cancer fighting efforts.

Further intro to PMC can be found here

If you are able to make charitable contributions this year, I'd greatly appreciate your consideration. I'll again be matching contributions, and Cisco will further match that. Your $50 will actually mean $200 going to the cause.

Donations to my campaign can be made at Paul Duffy's PMC site

Cisco colleagues, the company match is VERY important. But iGive is shutdown to prepare for a new giving system. You will need to make your donation at the PMC site, save the receipt, then apply for the match when the new iGive site goes live this September. I will prepare instructions when it is ready.



Thank you one and all!
