Be sun safe!

Sun exposure adds up day after day. It happens whenever you're outdoors: gardening, sailing, skiing, fishing, hiking and simply walking to and from the car. Sunlight reflects off water, sand, concrete, decks and snow. It also reaches below the water's surface. Ultraviolet (UV) rays are present even on cloudy days.

Everyone is at risk for skin cancer, whatever their skin color. Everyone needs to protect themselves from the sun.
