“While we push hard for people to get outdoors and be active, we want them to be sun safe as well,” said Eric Call, Director of the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department.
This partnership between the Palm Beach County Parks and Recreation Department and the Richard David Kann Melanoma Foundation helps promote sun safety and provide protection against the potentially deadly effects of overexposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays.
