      On Wednesday, October 21st, the MRF will host its 1st Annual Wings of Hope for Melanoma gala at the Radisson Blu Aqua Hotel in Chicago.

      Our Wings of Hope for Melanoma galas bring together local melanoma communities to celebrate recent advances in research and recognize local heroes with the MRF's Humanitarian and Courage Awards. Gala attendees play an important role in the fight against melanoma by raising awareness and much-needed funding to advance the melanoma research field.

      On October 21st, we will present our Humanitarian Award to Dr. James O. Ertle, Assistant Professor of Dermatology at Rush University School of Medicine and honorary member of the American Academy of Dermatology. Additionally, the MRF is proud to present our Courage Award to Mike Gorman in recognition of his courageous fight against melanoma. We will also welcome WGN TV Anchor Dina Bair as our Master of Ceremonies . The event will feature cuisine from the culinary neighborhoods of Chicago, signature cocktails and unique auction items.

      If you or a loved one are in the Chicago area, please join us! Tickets are still available and proceeds directly benefit the MRF’s mission to promote research, education and awareness of melanoma. Purchase your tickets at: http://www.melanoma.org/get-involved/calendar-of-events/wings-hope-melanoma-gala-chicago

      We hope you see you in Chicago!
