Our Mission

Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure! To teach sun protection strategies to the golf community and to provide them with opportunities for the early detection of skin cancer. As a 501(c)(3) organization (charity), our goal is to help golfers enjoy a lifetime of healthy golf.

What We Do

The Sun SafeTee Program provides sun protection education and skin cancer awareness programs specifically for the golf community. We give educational seminars, distribute sunscreen samples and published literature, provide informational hand-outs for tournament attendees.

Why We Do It

The Sun SafeTee Program was formed as a result of the increasing rate of skin cancer among the general public. This year over 1,000,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with skin cancer. Approximately 12,000 people will die from the disease. Our goal is to reverse this trend.

How Sun Safe Tee Began

The Sun SafeTee Program was started by Mark Wishner, an avid golfer, who himself had skin cancer. He noticed that there was a lack of resources available to golfers about the dangerous effects of the sun. Along with Dermatologists Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick and Dr. Curt Littler (son of PGA Tour Player and U.S. Open Champion Gene Littler) Sun SafeTee was created. Mark now devotes his time to educating the golf community on the importance of protecting themselves from the sun’s UV rays.
