People often connect Memorial Day with trips to the beach, family barbecues, boat rides, and festivals. And, what do all of these events have in common? People are outside…all day!
As a way to promote National Skin Cancer Awareness Month and sun safety, the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention created “Don’t Fry Day.” On Friday, May 27th, they hope to help consumers remember the importance of protecting their skin from the sun and sunless tanning booth’s harmful UV rays. And, by distributing promotional sunscreen you can do your part in spreading their message.
Before your co-workers part for the holiday weekend, consider handing out promotional sunscreen and an educational fact about sun protection. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, exposure to the sun’s UV radiation is associated with 90% of non-melanoma skin cancers and 65% of melanomas. By simply distributing promotional sunscreen, you can help your colleagues significantly reduce their risk of developing the deadliest form of skin cancer.
Sun damage accumulates over time, therefore it is never too late to help spread awareness about sun safety. So, be a proactive voice in the office and support “Don’t Fry Day” by distributing promotional sunscreen!
