Where will your donation go?
The goals of Our M.O.M., Inc. include raising money to help prevent, detect, and cure this deadly form of skin cancer. With that being said, your donation will directly help our extensive education campaign.
Prevent – Our goal is to educate people on the importance of protecting their skin. Our message includes wearing sunscreen at all times in the sun. We are in the process of providing free sunscreen to golf tournaments, construction workers, and swimming pools. Our goal is to provide as much sunscreen as we can. We are also in the process of giving educational presentations to various construction companies around town. We are willing to present to anyone who needs to be educated about melanoma. We provide educational materials, including pamphlets, handouts, etc. We also hope to educate people on the effects of using tanning beds. Our message for prevention is clear – BE SMART.
Detect – We launched the "Scan Your Skin" Campaign in January 2009. It is imperative to do a self-skin exam every month and visit a doctor once a year. We mailed calendar magnets to remind people to check their own skin on the 21st of every month, and call to make a doctor's appointment by June 21st, the first day of summer and the day our mom passed away in 2007.
Cure – Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, Our M.O.M., Inc. was able to make a donation of $10,000 to the Melanoma Research Foundation to aid research for an effective treatment and hopefully a cure of this terrible disease. As our foundation grows, Our M.O.M., Inc. is dedicated to increase funding for research.
