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 in middle and high school, and the SunSmart America™ curricula, programs, and resources, have educated hundreds of thousands of students, families, and communities on sun safety behaviors and practices for prevention and early detection of skin cancer. Today RDK and Hall of Fame baseball player, Mike Schmidt have launched The Mike Schmidt Sun Smart USA program. This grassroots program, launched in Philadelphia in 2017, strives to make a positive impact by protecting the public at beaches, parks, and stadiums nationwide with the placement of sunscreen dispensers to inspire people to implement life-long habits for the prevention of skin cancer. Deborah Kann Schwarzberg is Founder and President of the RDK Melanoma Foundation.
