Seeking partners in the prevention of melanoma to save lives
IMPACT Melanoma is the nation’s leading non-profit dedicated to significantly reducing the incidence of melanoma in the United States and saving lives.
We are seeking partners in prevention. Partners in prevention include community leaders, corporate sponsors, public health officials, schools of public health, dermatology students, outdoor workers, and professionals to increase awareness of the dangers of the sun’s UV rays, the importance of using sunscreen, wearing protecting clothing and the power of shade.
Our programs are unique as they are customized, integrated and include implementation support. As true partners in prevention, we enable successful and sustainable programs.
Our custom programs include:
Practice Safe Skin: awareness, education and access to sunscreen is included in our comprehensive sunscreen dispenser program. Community partners such as parks & recreation along with corporate sponsors can reach large audiences at beaches, parks, and in urban areas. Practice Safe Skin is further extended to outdoor workers with prevention education programs.
No Sun for Babies: a prevention education program to increase awareness and educate caregivers and new parents about the importance of protecting sensitive baby skin from the sun.
IMPACT Shade: shade is important to our health and can protect us from cancer causing UV rays. IMPACT Shade offers corporate sponsors and community leaders the opportunity to provide portable shade in communities, particularly in urban areas.
Your Skin Is In: an award-winning program encouraging middle, high school, and college students to protect their skin and avoid tanning beds.
Skinny on Skin: a prevention education program targeting professionals (e.g., hair stylists, tattoo artists) who can be instrumental in early detection of skin cancer including melanoma.
We are committed to supporting melanoma patients and their families while advocating for and influencing urban development policies to address shade equity in America.
