Senior Development Officer — Endowment and Planned Giving

Liz Reilly joined the Melanoma Research Foundation in June of 2016 as the Development Officer overseeing the MRF’s national gala program until 2018. Liz left the organization for a year and returned to the MRF in July of 2019. Prior to joining the MRF, Liz had a long and successful career in corporate event planning. When she was diagnosed with ocular melanoma in 2015, she knew she needed to do more to find new treatment options for patients like herself. After her initial treatment, Liz was honored with a Courage Award at the Denver Gala and fell in love with the organization and its gala program. Liz brings passion, understanding and a strong bond with the melanoma community because of her diagnosis.
