“Although we can’t change the statistics on what melanoma has been…we choose to make the best of it and try to help change where they are going.”
— Tara Miller, 2014
We are Dedicated to Melanoma Research
We ensure we are funding the most impactful, cutting-edge melanoma research through our longtime partnerships with the Tara Miller Melanoma Center at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania,
the Melanoma Research Alliance (MRA), and renowned cancer centers around the world.
OVER $7.5 MILLION
funded to melanoma research
“The impact of the Tara Miller Melanoma Foundation has been palpable among our research community. Every dollar leads to advances in melanoma and we do believe that a cure is within our sight.”
— Dr. Lynn Schuchter
Every dollar in goes out.
Tara’s family funds all event and foundation costs so every dollar raised goes directly to melanoma research and is 100% tax deductible.
