Local Sponsorship

Join the Movement to End Melanoma

The 2025 Steps Against Melanoma Walks are almost here, and we invite you to be part of something bigger. As a Local Sponsor, your support will directly contribute to melanoma research, raise awareness, and make a tangible impact in the fight against this deadly disease. With approximately 20 walks to choose from, your sponsorship will help us reach communities across the United States and beyond.

Each year, melanoma claims over 8,000 lives in the United States alone. Your partnership helps bring us one step closer to a future without melanoma by supporting life-saving research and spreading vital awareness.

Why Become a Local Sponsor?

As a Local Sponsor of the 2025 Steps Against Melanoma Walks, your organization will be aligned with a powerful, nationwide initiative. This sponsorship gives you the opportunity to make a profound impact while gaining valuable visibility across our events, digital platforms, and more. 

Here’s why your company should join us:

• Support Pioneering Research: Sponsoring the Steps Against Melanoma Walks directly funds critical research initiatives, including the International Melanoma Tissue Bank Consortium, designed to discover innovative treatments and ultimately, the cure for melanoma
• Raise Awareness Across the Nation: Your sponsorship helps raise awareness about melanoma and the importance of early detection, prevention, and ongoing research. With approximately 20 walks across the country, your brand will be associated with a movement that’s making a nationwide difference
• Empower Your Brand: Align your brand with a meaningful cause and show your commitment to the health and wellness of communities across the U.S. Sponsoring the Steps Against Melanoma Walks allows you to engage with an active, compassionate audience while positioning your company as a leader in corporate social responsibility
• Gain Nationwide Exposure: With approximately 20 walks held in major cities across the U.S., as well as virtual participation options, your brand will be recognized through event emails, social media shout-outs, and on-site visibility. Your company’s commitment to melanoma awareness can be seen in the communities of your choice 

Why We Walk

The Steps Against Melanoma Walks are much more than fundraising events—they are a powerful platform for awareness, education, and community building. Here’s why we walk:

• A Unified Fight: These walks unite melanoma survivors, patients, caregivers, advocates, and supporters across the country. Together, we are stronger in the fight against melanoma and more empowered to make lasting change
• Education & Resources: Each walk provides attendees with critical educational resources and expert insights into melanoma, from prevention tips to treatment options. We aim to empower individuals with the knowledge to make informed decisions about their health
• Hope and Community: Walks feature stories from survivors and offer a supportive community for those impacted by melanoma. The energy at each event is contagious, leaving participants feeling inspired and hopeful
• Life-Saving Research: The dollars raised through the Steps Against Melanoma Walks fund the International Melanoma Tissue Bank Consortium, the only melanoma tissue consortium of its kind. Your sponsorship is vital to continuing this work
