The WDS promotes Sun Safety through "Families Play Safe in the Sun", a broad-based national campaign, made possible through a generous grant from the 3M Foundation. Through a wide range of educational and outreach programs in fifteen communities across the United States, "Families Play Safe in the Sun" offers free skin cancer screenings, educational materials and dynamic sun protection activities geared for the needs and interests of different communities. Led by WDS member dermatologists, the campaign is designed to help spread the message of skin cancer prevention and proper skin health. The Women's Dermatologic Society is grateful to the 3M Foundation for its vision and generosity so that its member dermatologists in all regions of the United States can reach out into their communities to help educate, empower and encourage people of all ages to make sun safety a way of life.
