We are one month out from Safe in the Sun Run 2026.

Last year’s event was a huge success in raising funds for melanoma research and bringing awareness of melanoma to our community. We raised $15,000 to donate to University of Iowa Center for Advancement with funds targeted for melanoma research.

We ask that you continue to help us spread the word and consider registering yourself for Safe in the Sun Run 2026. We appreciate your support in our cause!
