Based in Washington, DC, the Melanoma Research Foundation interacts with patients and caregivers across the United States. The Foundation delivers on its mission by hosting educational symposia at leading academic centers, engaging local communities in events, and bringing together advocates on Capitol Hill to share their personal stories with lawmakers to influence change.
An endowment offers donors the profound ability to impact the lives of melanoma patients for generations to come. Funding the MRF’s endowment will enable increased investment in research grants and initiatives, a focused and sustained effort to unravel some of the most challenging medical problems and lead to new collaborations in the field.
