# About Us
## We’re on a Mission to Save Lives
### The Skin Cancer Foundation saves and improves lives.
We empower people to take a proactive approach to
daily sun protection and the early detection and treatment
of skin cancer.
### What We Do
We provide you with the tools you need to prevent, detect and treat skin cancer. Our most crucial role is to help you understand the risks of skin cancer, show you what you can do to avoid the disease and teach you how to spot potential skin cancers at an early stage, when they are usually curable.

### Who We Are
Our physicians, donors and corporate partners, along with members of the media, help us develop and distribute our programs to those who need them most.
