SUNSPORT provides risk awareness and sun-protection education directly to Stanford’s student-athletes, but we don’t stop there.  We aim to deliver information and improved sun-exposure practices to all Stanford students, faculty and staff, as well as to fans at select outdoor sporting events. Your support can help us spread healthy sun-protection habits and cancer prevention to athletes (and non-athletes!) everywhere.
