Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation works to help fund research, inform people of cancer risk By Vanessa Junkin, Times Correspondent
Donations sought: In addition to monetary donations, which can be made online, the foundation seeks volunteers. Safko said the next big event is the Tri-To-Win SavageMan Triathlon Festival at Deep Creek Lake State Park Sept. 17 and 18. If interested in participating, email contact@winthefight.org. To volunteer to help with the race, fill out a form on the website. Volunteers wishing to help in other ways can email contact@melanomaresource.org.
Why do you believe in the cause? “The Joanna M. Nicolay Melanoma Foundation was initiated due to the loss of a loved one in our family, and rather than a memorial tree, brick or park bench, we decided to create a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit charity dedicated to melanoma prevention, detection, care and cure,” Safko said “and [to] have a more enduring and positive impact on the lives of many.” Nicolay, a Carroll resident, was Safko’s mother-in-law.
