DIG participation at St. Vincent Well-Fair on Nov 9, 2013

On November 9, 2014 DIG members volunteered at the St. Vincent’s Well-Fair to educate the local community members on the ABCDs of skin cancer and sun protection as part of DIG’s Stay Shady Project. We gave out sunscreen samples, skin moisturizers, and educational brochures at the event to encourage sunscreen use. Many participants at the fair had expressed confusion as to who can get skin cancer and what exactly are the ABCDs of skin cancer. They were very appreciative of DIG volunteers for the education and for clarifying their confusion. Special thanks to DIG volunteers: (pictured) Dung Mac (MS2), Suhas Kochat (MS1), William Tausend (MS4), and Alexandra Martirossian (MS1, not pictured).
