Enright Melanoma Foundation Partenrs to Provide Free Online Sun Safety Programs
We share the same belief as the Children’s Melanoma Prevention Foundation that education is key in the fight against skin cancer. Youth spend a significant amount of time outdoors, and with skin cancer rates dramatically increasing, it's important to teach them about good sun protection habits starting at an early age.
Our skin cancer professionals have developed free, online programs called the Enright Sun Safety Certification™ programs for ages 5 and over. The programs use the Enright Sun Safety ACE™ to guide the learner through topics. The ACE represents an important, easy to remember message to: Apply Cover Enjoy™.
