J. Douglas Wright Foundation
The J. Douglas Wright Foundation is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to combating melanoma cancer by enhancing public awareness, promoting early detection, and fostering partnerships with like-minded organizations. Registered with the Canada Revenue Agency as a charitable organization, the foundation adheres to CRA guidelines, ensuring compliance with all relevant requirements.
Mission and Objectives
The foundation's mission is inspired by the life and spirit of Douglas Wright, who embodied enthusiasm and community building. By working collaboratively, the foundation aims to eradicate melanoma through education and research initiatives. Key objectives include:
- Awareness and Education: Promoting public understanding of melanoma risks and prevention methods.

Initiatives
BeSunSafe Sunscreen Dispenser Program
This program provides free Health Canada-approved SPF 30 sunscreen in selected parks across Toronto, aiming to raise awareness about sun protection and prevent skin cancer. Expanding from an initial 50 dispensers in 2018, which helped protect up to 94,000 individuals and won a Canadian Dermatology Association Public Education Award, the program now includes additional locations.
Research Support
The foundation jointly established the Douglas Wright Melanoma Award with the University of Toronto. This annual award of $30,000 supports residents and fellows in the Department of Medicine conducting melanoma research. Projects can range from clinical to basic research and must be completed within a year, with possible extensions for a second year.
Events and Fundraising
Events such as the Eclipse Melanoma Party are organized to raise funds for melanoma research and awareness. Additionally, the foundation supports individuals like Michael McIsaac, who have undertaken notable fundraising projects, such as swimming solo across Lake Ontario to raise awareness and funds for the cause.
Impacts and Legacy
By honoring Douglas Wright's legacy and fostering community involvement, the foundation seeks to make a lasting impact on melanoma awareness and research in Canada. Its efforts contribute to broader national discussions on cancer prevention and research, emphasizing the importance of collective action against melanoma.
