Melanoma Education Foundation – Grant Recipient

How the Grant is Being Used

Boston North Cancer Association awarded a grant to the Melanoma Education Foundation to provide facial scanners in 26 North Shore high schools. Facial scanners are an educational tool to help people understand the damaging effects of the sun. Through the use of ultra-violet rays, these scanners allow people to see layers of skin not visible to the naked eye. Used for middle school children through adults, this tool helps identify the areas of your face most impacted by the sun and show the benefits of sunscreen in blocking UV rays.
