Deets: The Champions for Change Gala is The Skin Cancer Foundation’s annual signature fundraising event. Funds raised from the Gala support the Foundation’s lifesaving educational campaigns, community programs and research initiatives.

Entrepreneur and author Christie Brinkley will host this year’s Champions for Change Gala. Ms. Brinkley was inspired to host the event after her own recent skin cancer diagnosis and treatment. She hopes that sharing her story will help raise awareness for the importance of early detection and treatment when it comes to the most common form of cancer in the U.S. La Roche-Posay will receive the Foundation’s Champions for Change Award at the event, in recognition of its long-standing partnership and commitment to the Foundation’s mission. And the digital media brand HealthCentral will receive the Foundation’s Media Impact Award for its exemplary efforts to raise awareness for “Skin Cancer in Skin of Color,” through a yearlong collaboration with the Foundation. The evening will conclude with a special performance by two-time Grammy nominee Martha Wash.  

La Roche-Posay has been a member of the Foundation’s Corporate Council since 2007, and many of its sun protection products have earned the Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation. Part of the L’Oréal Dermatological Beauty Group, La Roche-Posay’s mission is to offer dermatological skin care, including sunscreens for all skin types. For the past 15 years, La Roche-Posay has supported the fight against skin cancer through its annual public health awareness and educational campaign, SOS — Save Our Skin, which educates the public on the dangers of UV rays, develops broad-spectrum sunscreens suitable for all skin tones and types and encourages easy integration of sun protection into daily life, including annual skin cancer screenings.  

Guests can expect a lively evening, highlighting the work of the Foundation. Gala attendees include The Skin Cancer Foundation donors, industry and physician allies, celebrity supporters, members of the media and families impacted by the disease.
