SkinResource has had a history of giving, and being able to help our communities near and far has always been a crucial part of our company for many years.
Dr. Paul Dean, our original founder of SkinResource, not only had a thriving career as a dermatologist; he also had dedicated a lot of his time and career to give back to communities and organizations throughout the world in need of physician expertise. He was a board member of International Medical Corps (IMC) for many years, and donated his time and a percentage of profits from Skin Resource to help support their education and health programs for women and children in Africa. He also had devoted much of his time to support local organizations here in San Diego, and found it always rewarding to be able to give and offer his time and support.
We are so proud here at SkinResource to continue his legacy of giving. We honor Paul Dean in our efforts to give to organizations that are making an impact worldwide.
Giving back to our community and surrounding communities deepens a sense of connection, as well as demonstrates how we care not only for the community but for our customers.
Charitable Giving and participation is an integral part of SkinResource.MD. Giving back within our community is a way for us to make a difference locally and beyond. Over the years SkinResource has been involved with numerous organizations. And have pledged to make a difference to organizations within our local community and to charities that are close to us and we feel we can make an impact.
NAMI - This year we have chosen NAMI to use our influence and hope to make an impact in 2024 and for years to come. In April SkinResource was the Presenting Sponsor for one of their largest fundraisers, NAMIWalk. We are so proud to have our team involved as NAMI, we feel that their impact in the community is so vital and with support can make a huge difference in so many lives.
Our Partnership with NAMI helps fund research, advocacy and programs to address and support mental health awareness in local communities and around the country.
