The UA Skin Cancer Institute at the University of Arizona Cancer Center will present the eighth annual Melanoma Walk on Saturday, Nov. 4, on the UA Mall, 1209 E. University Blvd. Activities begin at 3 p.m. and the walk starts at 4:30 p.m.
The walk is family- and pet-friendly and includes prizes and giveaways, music, food, a silent auction and activities for kids. Registered participants will receive a “goody bag” and food. Before the walk, the UA Skin Cancer Institute will offer free screenings and spot checks from 2 to 4 p.m. — first come, first served.
Advance registration is $30 for adults, $15 for children ages 10 to 14, and free for children ages 9 or younger. Participants also may register as a “Skin Cancer Prevention Friend” (SPF) for $100, which provides one walk registration plus membership in the SPF program that supports the Institute’s prevention and cure activities. Proceeds from the walk directly support melanoma research, community outreach, education and patient care in Arizona.
