Melissa Proffitt to Be Honored as Leadership Honoree by American Cancer Society
Ice Miller partner Melissa Proffitt has been selected as an honoree by the American Cancer Society Board for its 14th annual Indianapolis Discovery Ball. Since 2009, the Indianapolis Discovery Ball has raised more than $5 million to support the American Cancer Society. Melissa is one of nine former chairs of the ResearcHers campaign, which has raised $920,000 for the American Cancer Society. Since the campaign’s inception in 2019, Indiana has been #1 in the country in fundraising.
This year’s event will take place on Saturday, November 11, at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown. Funds raised from the gala will support the mission of the American Cancer Society as it works to free the world from cancer by preventing cancer, saving lives, and diminishing suffering from cancer through research, education, advocacy, and service.
Ice Miller currently supports the organization through board service, with partner David Carr serving as a Discovery Ball board ambassador.
