Help Increase Our Impact
As we kick off our 6th season with The Sun Bus, our goal is to build on the incredible impact we achieved in 2025. Your support is more vital than ever in helping us ensure the long-term sustainability of our programs and expand our reach.
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 sun safety, self-skin checks, and preventive screening, we can save lives. Join us in advancing our mission and helping us continue our life-saving work!
