A bequest is the perfect way to make a difference… well into the future.
Bequests play a vital role in supporting the Hunter Melanoma Foundation’s ongoing research and education programs. Your bequest can be directed to research, or a PHD scholarship in your chosen name to help fund students undertaking important melanoma research, or to help in educating school children about melanoma prevention.
You can choose to bequest as much, or as little as you wish – every dollar makes a difference!
Where there’s a will… there’s a way.

You don’t have to tell us if you have made, or intend to make, a bequest to the Hunter Melanoma Foundation in your will. But if you do wish to tell us, we’d be happy to hear from you.
With your help, over the past 35+ years, we’ve been working to defeat melanoma—and we know the work we’re doing is making a real difference. But there’s still much more to do.
In the Hunter New England Local Health District, melanoma is now the second most diagnosed cancer (Cancer Institute NSW, February 2024), underscoring the urgent need for continued awareness, early detection, and prevention.
Nationally, melanoma remains the most common cancer among Australians aged 20 to 39. Your donation and ongoing support allow us to continue this life-saving work—funding education programs, supporting patients, and advancing research to reduce the impact of melanoma in our community.
