 Is your organization looking to build a shade structure or implement sun safety measures? But you don't know where to start?

Reach out to us regarding our grants!

Have you ever wondered..."Where does our Outrun the Rays registration or sponsorship money go?"

As you would expect, some of it goes to putting on our annual events. Some of it goes to things like providing sunscreen bottles to local sports teams. But the majority of the money raised goes to our Outrun the Rays Grant Program!

​As part of our melanoma and sun safety awareness, education, and prevention efforts, Outrun the Rays awards grants to organizations in Eastern Iowa and surrounding areas looking to enhance their sun safety measures. While we have typically awarded funds to projects for shade structures for use in public areas such as schools, ball-fields, and parks, we are interested in supporting any project that increases sun safety and awareness.

Below is the full list of grants awarded since our organizations conception. For more details on some of these projects, visit our Completed Projects Blog!
