Stylish sun safety: Thanksgiving 5K sponsor SunGrubbies.com

SunGrubbies.com is a fitting sponsor for the Thanksgiving 5K, which is (almost) always a sunny event. For over 14 years, SunGrubbies.com has been offering sun protection products that have been approved and recommended by the Skin Cancer Foundation, the Melanoma International Foundation and the Skin and Cancer Federation of Australia. Each of their products has been laboratory tested for their sun protective ability and every purchase is 100 percent guaranteed for satisfaction. SunGrubbies.com has been a proud sponsor of the Thanksgiving 5K for six years.

For owner Marta Phillips, long-time partnership in the event is about much more than just promotion. "Being raised in San Diego, I have watched Father Joe’s Villages do many amazing things for the homeless community,” she says. “The most remarkable thing about the organization is its approach to helping those in need. It doesn’t just provide food and shelter. It also offers counseling, job training, moral support and guidance to get a person back on their feet."

Of course, it doesn’t hurt that the Thanksgiving 5K has most years been blessed with San Diego’s signature sunshine. “SunGrubbies.com is a company dedicated to sun protection,” says Marta. “Teaming up for an outdoor event like the 5K Walk/Run was a perfect fit and opportunity for us to help Father Joe's Villages’ cause."

This year, SunGrubbies.com is offering a unique way to give back. From now until Thanksgiving Day 2012, shop the site and not only will you save 40 percent on your purchase, but 20 percent of all proceeds will go directly to helping your neighbors in need at Father Joe’s Villages. It’s a win-win!
