We are proud to announce that WAM was chosen to be one of the official charities of the Columbus Crawl for Cancer! Join us on May 26th from 1-5 in the Arena District for a pub crawl. WAM is excited to be a part of this great event!!

We would like to thank all that made a donation to WAM in memory of Ben Peters and John "Kelly" Cullum. Their courageous battles further confirm and strengthen the resolve and purpose of The WAM Foundation.

The WAM Foundation was founded in 2009 by Kirk and Lyndsey Vidra after their lives were significantly impacted by melanoma. While Kirk's story is one of survival, too many melanoma stories don't end the same, and too many fathers, mothers, sons, daughters and friends are lost. Kirk and Lyndsey realize how truly blessed they are and founded The WAM Foundation in hopes that one day all melanoma stories end with survival.

The WAM Foundation's mission is to raise public awareness of melanoma, to educate the public about prevention methods, to promote screenings for early detection, and to provide funds for research of effective treatment methods and ultimately a cure for melanoma. Since its formation The WAM Foundation has donated $42,500 to The Ohio State James Cancer Hospital and Solove Research Center in Columbus, Ohio.
