Ricky Richards is proud to announce our new partnership with Melanoma Institute Australia, the premier institute in Australia in the fight against melanoma!
Commencing July 1, 2015 Ricky Richards will be donating a percentage of sales from various sun protection product lines directly to the Institute's research and education programs. When you choose a sun protection fabric from Ricky Richards you will be supporting our donation commitment of at least $100,000 to Melanoma Institute Australia this financial year.
Melanoma Institute Australia provides essential support to individuals and families affected by the disease and are the largest melanoma research and treatment centre in the world. With so many Australian lives affected each year, we feel it is our corporate and social responsibility to give back in support of a community that has supported the growth of our Australian family owned company. Prevention and early detection are paramount in the fight against this deadly disease, and by working together to educate we can make a difference. 
The Ricky Richards sun protection fabrics supporting this program include the Outlook fabric collection including Outlook Designs, Outlook Fusion, Mode and Mode Privacy, the Docril Acrylic Fabric collection including Docril and Docril Nautica. Along with these popular Window Furnishing brands is the famous Australian made shadecloth series, Monotec. Monotec 210, 370 and 370FR are also included in this program.
Outdoor living has been an integral part of the Australian way of life for all of us. The Ricky Richards sun protection fabrics support Australian families in the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, by providing shelter and protection from the sun's harmful rays. These fabrics when installed appropriately will block and reflect a large percentage of damaging UV rays. Outdoor shelter protection combined with personal sun protection such as sunscreen and hats all assist in minimising sun exposure. These are all key factors in the fight against this terrible disease.
By choosing sun protection fabrics from Ricky Richards you will be supporting melanoma research.
