Welcome

We need your support to pass legislation and to increase funding for research and development. Please sign up to become one of "Charlie's Friends," to create a strong advocacy base.

The Charlie Guild Melanoma Foundation (CGMF) is leading an exciting worldwide effort to change the paradigm of melanoma. We are rapidly gaining the momentum necessary to turn the melanoma epidemic around, and make it a disease that will soon be referred to only in the past tense.

We have amassed an immense base of medical, technical, legislative, and educational expertise. We are mobilizing that expertise into an aggressive multi-faceted action plan, which includes patient and caregiver support, state and federal legislation, the building of research infrastructure, and public and health care professional education.

We intend to become a potent grass roots advocacy group in support of appropriate legislation, increased research funding, and rapid approval of new melanoma drugs. Please join our effort by registering to become one of Charlie's Friends today.
