Our Mission

"Made for Shade protects children from harmful sun exposure by funding shade structures and promoting sun-safe habits across the Black Hills. We do this so every child can enjoy outdoor play safely while building lifelong skin-health habits".

What We Believe

Our Work is guided by a commitment to prevention, community, and lasting impact

Prevention First

We believe prevention is one of the most powerful tools in protecting children's health.

By reducing harmful sun exposure early in life, we help lower long-term risks and support lifelong skin wellness.

Children at the Center

Every decision we make is guided by

what is best for children.

We are committed to creating safe, shaded environments that allow kids to play, learn, and grow outdoors with confidence.

Made for Shade is built on collaboration.

We work alongside medical professionals, volunteers, sponsors, schools, and community organizations to create meaningful, lasting impact.
