The Black Ribbon Benefit is a non-profit effort to fight the war on Melanoma Skin Cancer. Our purpose is to connect survivors, educate others and help raise money to find a cure for Melanoma. Based in Westerville Ohio and created by stage 3 survivor Katie Brennan, the BRB is an annual benefit held in September and all proceeds go to the Melanoma Research Foundation.
