Sun Safety Week June 1-7

Sun Safety Week

June 1 - 7

Baby Banz is excited to help you and your customers celebrate Sun Safety Week, an important awareness event that was first observed in 2004. Sun Safety Week is organized by The Sun Safety Alliance, a non-profit organization dedicated to educating the public and showing them how they can adopt and practice safe sun protection. During Sun Safety Week, families are encouraged to learn more about sun protection methods and to actively use these methods to protect themselves and their families. Unfortunately, skin cancer is at a record high, so it is very important that people learn the risks of prolonged exposure to UV rays.

To help raise awareness and promote proper sun protection, Baby Banz has a nice selection of promotional items. These items can be given away to customers and local schools/preschools to help advertise your business while also teaching people about the benefits of safe sun practices. An excellent promotional giveaway for this month are Baby Banz Adventure Banz wrap-around sunglasses for ages 0-5. This helpful product will show your customers that you care about their health and want them to stay informed. Give us a call today 877-333-0074 to find out about our discounts for companies that giveaway Baby Banz!

Sun Safety Alliance Sun Tips

Tips from the Sun Safety Alliance:

Dear Sun Safe Friend,

You don't need the luck of the Irish to protect your skin this St. Patrick's Day!

When you are celebrating with family and friends at St. Patrick's Day Parades and upcoming springtime events, keep your skin safe by remembering to:
• Apply a sun block of at least SPF 15 or higher with ingredients like Avobenzone or zinc oxide to protect against UVA and UVB rays
• Keep in mind the sun is strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
• Wear a hat and sunglasses in addition to your sun block (Yes, goofy St. Patrick's Day hats can help block the sun's UV rays!)
• Reapply sun block often, especially if perspiring and after swimming or toweling off
• Wear clothing that is tightly woven or includes UV protection
• Stay in the shade whenever possible
