Skin Cancer Prevention

The Partnership to Reduce Cancer in Rhode Island has received a transformational $50,000 donation dedicated to increasing sun safety awareness throughout the state. Using these funds, we aim to use a multi-pronged approach that includes youth education, workplace safety, and community engagement all designed to create lasting cultural change around sun protection.

Our goal is to increase adoption of sun safety behaviors among target populations to reduce risk of skin cancer and improve outcomes for patients diagnosed with melanoma or non-melanoma cancer.
