The Kate Verdon Spisak Foundation for
Melanoma Awareness and Research, Inc.
is a not-for-profit organization dedicated
to informing the public about melanoma
as well as providing financial support
to the National
Institute of Health's Melanoma Research
Program and the patients and families
involved in that research.
Kate's Foundation numerous programs
include melanoma
awareness campaigns, this website,
a high school scholarship, free skin
cancer screenings, and educational awareness
and prevention booths at outdoor sporting
events. We distribute free SPF-30 sunblock,
hats, t-shirts and beach towels throughout
the year to remind people to always
protect themselves from skin cancer
exposure.
Kate's Foundation is named after a nurse, wife, daughter, sister and friend, Kate
Verdon Spisak, who ended her battle
with melanoma in the year 2000. Throughout
her long fought struggle, and indeed,
in her life prior to cancer, Kate continually
served as a model of courage, compassion,
and determination to all who knew her.
Although Kate is no longer here to fight
with us, we carry on in her memory to
educate people on the dangers of melanoma
- what they can do to prevent this disease,
and how to help fight it.
