- Participate in the 6th annual “AIM at Melanoma” 5K Walk and Fun Run -- proceeds from the walk will benefit the OHSU Melanoma Tissue Bank Consortium
- Complete a family tree or “pedigree” to reveal family history and potential risk for melanoma; talk with our study team, receive feedback and potentially provide a saliva sample for future melanoma DNA research
