About Richard David Kann Melanoma (RDK) Foundation:

The Foundation has been working locally and nationally for over 26 years to save lives by changing behaviors through education to increase awareness on sun safety prevention and early detection of melanoma. Their newest initiative involves the distribution of sunscreen dispensers in parks, beaches, schools, and outdoor areas, where sun exposure is excessive. The unique Students Against Melanoma (SAM) Clubs on middle and high school campuses are a network of students across the country using the SunSmart America™ curricula to educated their families, and communities on sun safety behaviors and practices for prevention and early detection of skin cancer.
