The Georgia Sunscreen Initiative
Due to our passion for public health, we became interested in preventative care for skin cancer, the most common form of cancer in the United States, with melanoma being the deadliest type. After researching our skin cancer rates, we were shocked to learn that Georgia ranks in the highest tier for melanoma incidence in the United States according to the CDC.
In fact, Georgia ranks #6 in the nation, up from #11 in the CDC's previously published data.
The Georgia Sunscreen Initiative was founded on three pillars: education, access, and political advocacy.
With YOUR help, we can make Georgia a worldwide leader in skin cancer prevention.
