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.
