Our Mission

Skin cancer is preventable.
Access to care isn't equal.

We were founded by high school students in Plantation, Florida to close that gap. Shield With Care volunteers at homeless shelters, distributes sunscreen to communities that can't afford it, and built an app to help everyone — regardless of income — find free screenings and protect their skin.
