The Pittsburgh Melanoma Foundation is a Pittsburgh-based 501(c)3 organization whose mission is to raise melanoma awareness in the Pittsburgh area through prevention and early detection. PMF is ran by volunteers who have all been personally impacted by melanoma. Some of us are survivors, caretakers, healthcare workers, and family and friends of those who have battled melanoma. Since 2012, we have donated $450,000 to melanoma research and awareness programs happening in Pittsburgh. Proceeds from our 2024 fundraisers will benefit Allegheny Health Network under the direction of Dr. Howard Edington.
Angel & Survivor Signs Along the 5k Course
If you have attended one of our previous 5k events, you will remember the angel and survivor signs along the course. The signs are no cost to you and you are welcome to take them home after the 5k. If you'd like an angel or survivor sign printed to be displayed at the 5k, please fill out the form.
Please submit all requests by May 5, 2024.
$65,000 Donation to AHN
On November 18, 2023, our team donated $65,000 to AHN, bringing our total to date to $450,000! We look forward to more fundraising and awareness in 2024!

Our 2024 proceeds will be donated to Allegheny Health Network.
Our race registration was open in 2020 when it was canceled due to COVID-19. The majority of our registered runners so graciously chose to donate their registration fees.
In 2021, our virtual 5k drew over 1,200 runners from across 30 states.
Close to 1,700 runners and walkers joined us and supported our mission in 2023.
We keep the wise words of Chris Hallam close to our hearts:
"Because of events like this, a community exists for survivors, family, and friends. Because of events like today we have the opportunity to remember our loved ones and know we are not alone. The opportunity for melanoma to get the attention it deserves."
~Excerpt from Chris Hallam's speech at the Pittsburgh Melanoma Foundation 5k in 2017
It's due to all of your support that we've continued to raise awareness in the Pittsburgh area. Our donation is in honor of each one of you.
