Anyone who has been touched by melanoma understands first-hand the vital importance of the Children’s Melanoma Prevention Foundation’s mission of preventing skin cancer one child at a time through education and advocacy. Although we are always motivated to spread our message, we are also keenly aware of our organization’s finite resources and we are always looking for new ways of expanding our reach.

That is why we decided to invite a group of very smart, talented and motivated supporters of the foundation to join us for a few days of brainstorming sessions, mixed with rest, socializing and relaxation. Our friends at Canyon Ranch made it possible for our participants to take advantage of a highly discounted in this perfect backdrop for our productive and inspiring summit in Lenox, Mass.

From the moment we arrived, the ideas were flowing and new connections were being forged. CMPF gained invaluable insight on how to better capitalize on our brand, maximize our outreach strategies, deliver our message and raise the necessary funds to support our mission.

As board chair of CMPF, I am incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in our Canyon Ranch discussions. Not only did we enjoy ourselves immensely at a beautiful place and in the company of incredible people, we also learned a great deal about how to move our organization forward.

 Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, with one American dying every 45 minutes from this largely preventable disease. Our mission is clearly as critical as ever, and we have much work to do. We hope you’ll join us.
