In 2003, Mr. & Mrs. Patrick Roche provided an initial grant of $50,000 to begin our sun safety school program. At that time, Mr. Roche provided very valuable advice regarding running a business, “don’t try to do it alone. “ These words have rung in my ears as I have sought board and advisory council members, donors, sponsors, nonprofit partners, staff, and foundation friends. Since the beginning, Roche Bros and the Roche Family have provided an annual gift and whole-heartedly supported our work in skin cancer prevention. Since the death of Mr. Roche, his wife Barbara has continued the giving as a Platinum Sponsor.
