Since 2019, the GDPA has dedicated our Annual Dermatology PEARLS Conference Welcome Event & Charity Fundraiser to support the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF.) Our efforts to support the MRF date back to 2014 through GDPA's sponsored team in the Annual Miles for Melanoma Charity Fundraiser 5k Run/Walks.

Donations made to the MRF allow participants to support the MRF in their mission to support medical research for effective treatments and eventually a cure for melanoma. Melanoma is a disease that is estimated to kill 10,000 Americans each year. The organization also serves to educate patients, families, and clinicians about melanoma diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.

Please join us in supporting the Melanoma Research Foundation through our Annual Dermatology PEARLS Conference - Welcome Event Charity Fundraiser. Stop by the registration desk and show your email receipt to receive a donor sticker to add to your name badge. Let's encourage one another as leaders in advocacy for our patients!
