Free skin cancer education at area beaches

Committed to the communities we serve, the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Blum Van will be visiting beaches across Massachusetts to provide free skin cancer education opportunities. Adults will have the opportunity to take a photo that will show areas with sun damage and learn how to protect themselves from further damage. Educational activities will be available for children. Participants will receive educational materials, sunscreen, key chains with energy beads that change color in response to UV rays, and Red Sox baseball caps.

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute’s Blum Van, a 39-foot van, is designed to bring Dana-Farber’s expertise in the struggle against cancer to the public, through early detection cancer screenings and several cancer education/awareness and prevention initiatives.

Event will be cancelled if there is rain. Call 617-632-2614 for more information.
