Skin cancer is the most prevalent cancer in the United States. Luckily, skin cancer is largely preventable and can be effectively treated when detected early. Most skin cancers are associated with exposure to harmful ultraviolet (UV) light from the sun or tanning beds. By educating on the importance of sun safety, self-checks, and screening, we can save lives. Join us in advancing our mission by making a donation to The Sun Bus, helping us continue our life-saving work!

The Sun Bus Services
Free Skin Exam &
Facial Skin Heath Screening

Skin Cancer &
Sun Safety Education
The Sun Bus is equipped with sophisticated cameras to provide live educational demonstrations of how the sun damages skin and how sunscreen protects us from the dangerous rays of ultraviolet light.
The personalized education on sun safety and skin cancer literature are provided to all who visit The Sun Bus.
