Making a Difference in Melanoma Education & Awareness Outreach News

Our Impact In Their Words

“Mollie’s Fund has been extremely helpful in supporting our skin cancer screenings at Moffitt Cancer Center. Their brochures are the BEST ones we have, and the attendees LOVE them! It is important to us to provide a lifetime of sun safety education to each person we see, and this is one way to ensure that we do so!”

Teri MitchellEvent and Project Coordinator, Tampa FL

“Thank you once again for your generous donation of sunscreen to keep all our golfers “sunsafe” at Pal-O-Mine’s golf outing! Each year golfers lather up at the registration table, and later again at the Half Way House…and this year received individual bottles they can use whenever they want, all thanks to the generosity of the Mollie Biggane Melanoma Foundation! Our golfers have expressed how grateful they are each year that we provide the sunscreen since they so often forget to bring theirs!”

Carol-Ann GuerrieroProgram Director, Islandia, NY

“I just wanted to share that Mollie’s commercial single handedly pushed me to have my skin checked. As an ICU nurse I should know better, but life got busy and I kept putting it off. I have a lot of moles and the type of skin on the spectrum that is prone to having concern. So I want to thank you and Mollie for keeping the word strong and MAKING A DIFFERENCE.”

“I just wanted to shoot you a quick note to let you know that the work you are doing to raise awareness especially on social media is meaningful! I went in for a regular skin check and they ended up biopsing something that looked off. Thank you for keeping cancer and proactive sun protection to mind.”

“So glad that you are able to continue with your outreach to the schools—making the students ambassadors for sun-safety.”
