We are starting a skin cancer prevention initiative called Rally for the Rays: Pickleball for Skin Protection. We will be hosting a Pickleball Fundraiser dedicated to raising awareness and funds for skin cancer research and prevention, with the Melanoma Research Foundation serving as our primary philanthropic beneficiary.

The fundraiser will feature a lively pickleball tournament, educational resources on sun safety, and opportunities for participants to engage with local health advocates. Through active play and community involvement, the event aims to promote skin health, early detection, and preventive care in a fun, accessible way. We will also provide FREE skin protection and swag bags to the donors/players. Proceeds will directly support MRF’s mission to advance melanoma research, support patients, and increase public awareness about sun protection and skin cancer risks.

This initiative combines fitness, philanthropy, and education—all while bringing people together to rally for a vital cause.

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Melanoma Research Foundation and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.
