Preventing Skin Cancer with Sun Screen

Did you know that there are more than 1 million cases of skin cancer diagnosed in the U.S. each year? To minimize your risk, apply and reapply your sun screen whenever you are outside — even on non-sunny days. This will protect your skin from the harmful effects of the sun!

Don’t forget the sunscreen. May 27 is National Sun Screen Day!

To commemorate National Sun Screen Day, we couldn’t touch 1 million people, but we could reach one of the highest at-risk groups — young lifeguards.

Earlier this week, the Articulon team spent time with the staff and volunteers at Raleigh’s Optimist Pool. We toured the facility and donated a boat load of sun screen. What’s more, there are approximately 400 lifeguards working across Wake County to ensure your safety. Parks and Rec offers three year-round and six seasonal pools for citizens to enjoy.

Raleigh Parks and Recreation Department encourages, provides, promotes and protects quality leisure, recreation and cultural opportunities, facilities and environments.
