Events

The Skin Cancer Foundation hosts events and professional conferences in an effort to spread awareness while raising funds to support research and education initiatives. Events like the annual Skin Sense Award Gala have gained a strong reputation with beauty industry insiders, while the Foundation’s annual A Night the Stars Shine On evening of cocktails attracts some of New York’s social elite.

The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour travels the country each year, offering free full-body skin cancer screenings and providing the latest skin cancer information to the public. In conjunction with the annual American Academy of Dermatology meeting, the Foundation hosts an annual reception for our professional members, which offers them the opportunity to network.
