BucketGolf x Melan: Playing for a Cause this Skin Cancer Awareness Month
At BucketGolf, we believe in more than just creating backyard fun—we believe in using play as a platform for purpose.
This May, in honor of Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month, we’re proud to launch our limited-edition Blackout BucketGolf Set in partnership with Melan, a trailblazing sunscreen brand committed to prevention, protection, and purpose.
More Than a Game—A Mission
Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world, and melanoma is its deadliest form. It’s also one of the most common cancers in young adults, particularly young women. But there’s good news: melanoma is largely preventable, and early detection can save lives. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Melan and the Melanoma Research Alliance to raise both funds and awareness.
With every purchase of the Blackout BucketGolf Set, a portion of proceeds will go directly to The Melanoma Research Alliance. The set features a bold, sleek design—completely blacked out to symbolize the importance of awareness and early detection. It’s our way of turning play into impact.
Meet Melan: Born From Experience, Driven by Purpose
Our partners at Melan know the importance of sun safety better than anyone. At just 30 years old, Melan’s founder was diagnosed with stage III melanoma. That life-altering moment led to a complete shift—not just in lifestyle, but in purpose. It inspired the creation of Melan, a sunscreen brand built on:
-
Thoughtful ingredients that are safe, effective, and kind to the skin
-
Real protection for all skin types and outdoor lifestyles
-
Empowerment through education, accessibility, and design
Melan doesn’t just sell sunscreen—they’re on a mission. A percentage of every purchase supports melanoma prevention efforts. We’re proud to align with a brand whose roots come from personal resilience and a fierce commitment to helping others live—and play—safely in the sun.
Why This Month Matters
Skin Cancer and Melanoma Awareness Month is more than just a moment on the calendar. It’s a reminder that:
-
Prevention is powerful: Sunscreen, shade, and protective clothing are simple steps with life-saving impact.
-
Melanoma is rising: Especially among younger people, making education more important than ever.
-
Early detection saves lives: When caught early, melanoma has a 99% 5-year survival rate. Awareness truly makes a difference.
Play Hard. Stay Protected. Give Back.
Whether you're in the backyard, at the beach, or setting up a spontaneous game at the park, BucketGolf is here to bring people together. And now, we’re proud to bring people together for a cause.
