(NECN) - It was an evening filled with music, auction items, delicious food and drinks, and all for an important cause.

Team NECN held its second annual fundraiser for the Pan Mass Challenge, at the rooftop pool of the Colonnade Hotel in Boston.

The PMC, now in its 29th year, will feature cyclists from 36 states and eight countries. All riding to raise money for the Jimmy Fund.

10 NECN employees will also be out biking for a cause. Nine-year-old Caroline Lane is team NECN's pedal partner this year. One of the inspiring children who has received state of the art cancer treatments as a result of funds raised by the PMC.

Last year alone, the PMC raised 33 million dollars and more than $204 million since 1980.
