BECOME A SPONSOR

Sponsorships underwrite the cost of the event so participant donations can fully support melanoma research, awareness and healing. Many levels to choose from.

I was able to participate in your 5k in October. It was extremely emotional for me as I drove in the parking lot to see the mass of people participating in your event. The cause is so personal … I just wept in my car for awhile before I pulled myself together and was a part of something that I will remember forever. You all are amazing and such an inspiration! Thank you for your efforts and I applaud your success for a cause which needs to find an answer.”
