The 3rd Annual Spring Swing-Moffitt's Sun Safety Tour kicks off March 5 and will run throughout 2010 Spring Training.
Spring Swing-Moffitt's Sun Safety Tour is a partnership with Moffitt Cancer Center and the Tampa Bay Rays offering free skin cancer screenings at specified baseball Spring Training venues in March and April. Screeners will be looking for early signs of skin cancer while promoting sun safety, skin cancer awareness and education.
During the previous two Spring Training seasons, Spring Swing screened nearly 1,400 people, identifying 783 suspected cancerous lesions or suspected pre-cancerous lesions. Year-over-year, the program found a 10 percent increase in suspected skin cancers.
Screenings will begin approximately two hours before game time.
