DESCRIPTION:

Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States. Ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun are the main cause of skin cancer. UV damage can also cause wrinkles and blotchy skin.

The good news? Skin cancer can be prevented! Communities, health professionals, and families can work together to prevent skin cancer.

Make a difference:
Spread the word about strategies for preventing skin cancer and encourage communities, organizations, families, and individuals to get involved.

How can UV Safety Month make a difference?

We can all use this month to raise awareness about skin cancer and help people take action to prevent it at home and in the larger community.

Here are just a few ideas:

Encourage families to adopt good habits together, like wearing sunscreen and limiting their time in the sun.

Motivate teachers and administrators to teach kids about the harm of UV rays and why it's important to protect yourself.

Identify youth leaders in your community who can talk to their peers about taking steps to prevent skin cancer.

How can I help spread the word?

We've made it easier for you to make a difference! This toolkit is full of ideas to help you take action today. For example:

Add information about skin cancer prevention to your newsletter.

Tweet about UV Safety Month.

Host a community event where families can learn about different ways to prevent skin cancer.
