Take the Don’t Fry Day Pledge

In an effort to raise awareness about a health issue that is largely preventable and too often ignored – skin cancer, EPA encourages you to help promote the first-ever national sun safety day on May 22, 2009. We are teaming up with other members of the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention, which include the American Cancer Society, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to support the Don’t Fry Day campaign. As millions of us prepare to enjoy the great outdoors this Memorial Day weekend, EPA and the Council are reminding Americans to practice sun-safe behaviors. As part of this campaign, we’d like your help! Pledge to incorporate sun safety into your April or May activities.

Participating classrooms will receive a Don't Fry Day poster and a classroom set of sun safety stickers. (Preview the poster and stickers.) In addition, your classroom will be entered into a drawing for a SunWise Classroom Prize Pack – a classroom set of UV-sensitive SunWise bracelets, a real-time UV monitor, and other sun safety resources. The drawing for the 2009 prize pack has closed. SunWise will continue to send out stickers and posters to educators who take the pledge.

Congratulations to Mary Anne Stephens of Royersford Elementary School, Royersford, PA! You’ve won the SunWise Classroom Prize Pack for taking the 2009 Don’t Fry Day Pledge.
