Reduce Your Risk

No one is immune from skin cancer, but some people are at higher risk. People at higher risk are those with light skin, lots of moles, blonde or red hair, or have a family history of skin cancer. Please remember skin cancer does not discriminate against skin color or age.

The foundation is dedicated to fulfill Tracy’s wish by educating our children and the community in causes, early detection, and prevention of melanoma. We feel that promoting awareness and educating you about the importance of sun safety will help save lives.
