Ocular Melanoma (OM) Teams have raised $47,417.59 to date.
Number of CURE OM teams: 13
Thank you to our local ocular melanoma sponsors!
COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING YOUR NEXT STEP IS THE CURE 5K
In November 2017, Bernadette Boyle and Linda O’Brien, the race directors, held their first 5K at E.G. Simmons Park in Ruskin, FL. They continue holding events, adding on more registrants and increasing the dollars raised each year. To date they have raised over $65,000 and donated 100% of the money raised to CURE OM. Bernadette and Linda hope to bring awareness to this rare and orphan disease and remind everyone the importance of an annual eye dilated exam.
Your Next Step is the Cure hosted its sixth annual 5k on October 7th, 2023 to bring awareness and raise funds for OM.
