HERE COMES THE SUN
The Sun Cancer Foundation, also known as The Sun Can Fund, Inc., is a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the South Florida community about safe sun practices, the dangers of melanoma, and the importance of supporting research to find a cure
WHAT WE DO
The Sun Can Fund supports melanoma research and fundraising initiatives throughout South Florida while empowering families with practical, lifelong sun-safety education. We focus on sharing essential information about the benefits of healthy sun exposure, the dangers of sunburns, the importance of daily skin protection, and how to enjoy life outdoors safely while still recognizing the positive role vitamin D plays in overall health.
The Sun Can Fund is also developing a non-toxic, kid-friendly sunscreen that children will actually want to apply themselves, making healthy habits easier for both kids and parents. Beyond skin health, we are committed to protecting our beaches and oceans and championing any cause that thrives under the sun.

Her mission is clear: to educate her family and the community on melanoma prevention and support efforts to find a cure.
Jenna Trueba Cerenko, Co-Founder of the Sun Can Fund, Inc., has over 15 years of experience in marketing. Witnessing the impact of melanoma on her loved ones, especially her mother, inspired her to launch the Sun Can Fund. She is also committed to protecting her own children and teaching them how to safely enjoy the sun.
