Melanoma Messengers Training

We are extremely pleased to announce our first 2010 Melanoma Messenger training, to be held Saturday, March 27th, and Sunday, March 28th, in Chicago! This day and a half long training will provide you with the tools and resources you need to bring the national voice of MRF into your local community! Perhaps you're already coordinating an event, or maybe you'd like to begin volunteering in some other way, such as providing outreach or working on an awareness campaign. Let us help you find your niche. During this training...

Let us show you:
Important fundraising strategies - want to raise more money from your events? How can you maximize sponsorships?
How to work with the media - writing press releases and media alerts; giving interviews
The ins and outs of political engagement - how to be an effective advocate
The latest in MRF news - what have your efforts allowed us to do? What kind of advances have we seen in melanoma research?

Space is limited, so please register for this important training as soon as possible. Contact Mary Mendoza, Manager of Community Engagement for more details: volunteer@melanoma.org or (908) 698-1955
