Skin Cancer Education is an Adelaide-based, non-profit organisation. Established in 2006, our aim is to provide information and resources on sun safety and skin cancer prevention.
Money raised from community donations goes directly towards educating students, young adults, teachers and parents about sun safety awareness and the health concerns associated with sun exposure.
We help schools, sports clubs and youth groups develop and implement initiatives and programs that encourage young people to take preventative measures against harmful UV light in order to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer later in life.
For more information on how we can assist you or your school or club with skin cancer awareness and prevention, or if you wish to donate to our organisation, please contact Peter or Heather on (08) 8337 7640.
You don't have to wait for us to call to donate to Skin Cancer Education!
All donations are tax deductible and your contribution goes towards spreading the sun safety message to schools, sports clubs and youth groups all over South Australia.
