Donor Support and Events
Featured Corporate Partners
Natera In 2025, Natera, a residual disease testing company, significantly expanded their support of the MRF. They served as a national Grassroots Partner for our Miles for Melanoma 5K series, bringing patient education and giveaways to eight events nationwide. Natera also collaborated with the MRF on a melanoma awareness campaign in July and announced plans to fund a research grant in honor of one of their colleagues, a melanoma survivor who also lost her mother to the disease. Immunocore Immunocore, maker of Kimmtrak, the first and only FDA-approved treatment for metastatic ocular melanoma, continued their strong support of the MRF’s CURE OM programs. They once again showed up in a big way at our Philadelphia Miles for Melanoma 5K, and supported both the Eyes on a Cure OM patient meeting and the OM Global Science Meeting. This year, they further expanded their collaboration by supporting and presenting to the MRF’s Breakthrough Consortium and by supporting the development of the first animated patient video focused on ocular melanoma.
Coolibar After taking a few years off, Coolibar, a leader in the UPF clothing industry, returned as our National Miles for Melanoma Apparel Sponsor, providing more than 10,000 UPF shirts to runners and walkers. They also supported our annual Dermatology Alliance Council meeting at the American Academy of Dermatology conference and featured the MRF at their inaugural fashion show during NYC’s Fashion Week in fall 2025.
Glowbar Glowbar, a nationally located facial bar, partnered with the MRF in May 2025 to help educate their clients on the importance of not only achieving healthy, glowing skin, but also prioritizing melanoma prevention and early detection. Through this partnership, Glowbar shared messaging around regular self-exams and the importance of visiting a dermatologist, reinforcing the connection between skincare and overall skin health. In addition to in-clinic education, Glowbar showed their support in the community by participating in the DC Miles for Melanoma 5K and supporting our NYC gala.
