EVERY DOLLAR MAKES A DIFFERENCE

July 20, 2020

Your gift, no matter how large or small, makes all the difference to our mission to prevent and cure skin cancer. Your kind donations go toward:

 

Project Students Are Sun Safe (SASS) which teaches University of Arizona students sun safety so they can go into middle schools and high schools and teach the messages to our future generations.

 

The Hats ON program is putting sun safe hats on babies and children in our community.

 

The Protect Your Skin Program helps our community be sun safe by offering sunscreen dispensers to businesses.

 

Seed grants help our researchers continue striving to find new treatments and detection strategies for skin cancer.
