Skin Cancer Awareness Month

This May Your Hat Does More Than Just Block Rays

Every purchase helps fund the American Cancer Society’s* mission for supporting life-saving research, free screenings, and care for those impacted by skin cancer.

5% of all profits help fund sun safety education, cancer research, and free screenings.

Let’s make sun safety smarter, and skin cancer less common.

Education & Awareness

Why It Matters

Fun & Friendly Tip: When the sun's rays are strong, protect yourself from sun damage by wearing a hat, applying sunscreen, and finding shade.

Quick Stats:

  • Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., with over 5 million cases diagnosed each year.
  • One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.
  • Caught early, most skin cancers are highly treatable.
