Operation Sun SCREEN

Defend Your Skin: The Operation SunSCREEN Mission

Operation Sun S.C.R.E.E.N. (Skin Cancer Recognition, Education, and Engagement to Network) is the philanthropic heartbeat of the Association of Military Dermatologists. In partnership with La Roche-Posay, we are dedicated to providing life-saving screenings and sun safety education to those who serve.

The 2026 National Screening Tour

We are hitting the road again! With the support of our exclusive sunscreen sponsor, La Roche-Posay, we are bringing free screenings to these 2026 events:

May 2-3: San Antonio, TX - Great Texas Air Show

Made Possible through the generous support of our volunteers and our corporate partner

La Roche-Posay has been the exclusive sunscreen partner of Operation Sun SCREEN since 2023, providing Anthelios sunscreen - recommended by over 100,000 board certified dermatologists - to service members, veterans, and air show attendees at events across the country. Together, with our partners, we're committed to making sun protection second nature for those who spend the most time outdoors.

Join the Mission

Our growth is powered by a national network of active-duty and retired military dermatologists, as well as local community partners.
