Our Mission
To develop personalized strategies with patients so they may live longer, better
lives.
MIF is primarily funded through the generous donations of
individuals. We do recieve a smaller portion of funding from family foundations, community
foundations and pharmaceutical foundations. Our fundraising event at Villanova University is the
largest melanoma awareness event held in the world. Other events are held all over the United
States, with an emphasis on providing free screenings and educational opportunities in communities
nationwide. Our website's scientific information is validated by our Scientific Advisory Board
listed on this site; all are credentialed medical professionals and most are melanoma
specialists.
