Safe From The Sun Walk & 5K Run

Safe from the Sun

The Philadelphia Safe from the Sun event was started to honor the lives of melanoma patients and their families. It raises awareness that melanoma is not "just skin cancer."  The Safe from the Sun Walk & 5K Run starts with the excitement of the Kids’ Dash kick-off, followed by the 2-mile walk, and 5K race that winds around Villanova’s beautiful campus. Other inside activities include our skin cancer screening by dermatology professionals, a kids’ corner filled with fun activities, and a diverse family expo. The event funds our family/patient hotline/email assistance and patient forum and allows us to spread our mission through effective education programs for all ages.

Event Opens - 9am; Welcome & Preliminary Awards - 10am; Kids Dash - 10am; Walk/5K - 10:30am; Awards Ceremony - 11:30am
