The Event

Join us on Saturday, November 9th, 2019, for our 9th annual DC Wings of Hope for Melanoma Gala.

The gala will be held at The Ritz-Carlton, Tysons  Corner, McLean, Virginia, and will include an evening of exquisite food, drinks and dancing, live music, and live/silent auctions!

Our annual gala is so important to the thousands of Americans who will be diagnosed with melanoma this year for the thousands more who are living as survivors. With your involvement and support, the DC Wings of Hope in support of the Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) can fund research that will unlock the mysteries for this devastating disease and lead to better treatments, and eventually a cure.

Make a difference!  Register or donate today.
