The SHADE Foundation of America, The Children’s Skin Cancer Foundation, is a 501 c 3 national nonprofit organization established 2002 after founder Shonda Schilling’s very public battle with malignant melanoma with the mission to eradicate melanoma through the education of children, parents, educators and the community in the prevention and detection of skin cancer.
