2020 Spring Events Rescheduled

Following guidance from public health officials and in response to the evolving situation surrounding the COVID-19 virus, recently the Melanoma Research Foundation made the difficult but necessary decision to postpone all public events scheduled for April and May. The health and well-being of our community members, staff and volunteers will always be our top priority, but we understand the importance of being able to come together, share our stories, celebrate our heroes and support one another. For that reason, the MRF is excited to announce that the postponed events have now been rescheduled and registrations, tickets and sponsorship opportunities are again available. We look forward to welcoming our friends and partners at:
Galas:
The 9th Annual Denver Gala will now be on August 6, 2020. The Chicago Gala and New York City Gala (tickets available soon!) will proceed as scheduled.
Visit the Galas page to learn more about tickets, sponsorship opportunities and other ways to get involved with the upcoming 2020 Galas.
