Ann’s Hope Foundation (AHF) was founded in 2005 by Ann Harrington and Anne Frentzel, friends who both lost loved ones to melanoma. Ann’s brother, Craig Harasha, was diagnosed with advanced melanoma in September 2004 and lost his battle six months later. Anne’s father, Richard Cibula, passed away from melanoma after a two-year fight with the disease in November 2002.
AHF is the only melanoma foundation in Wisconsin that hosts several events to raise funds for melanoma research and education. The foundation is dedicated to creating a community for those affected by melanoma and ultimately a cure for melanoma.
