Spring Swing – Moffitt’s Sun Safety Tour – is a partnership between Moffitt Cancer Center and the Tampa Bay Rays, offering free skin cancer screenings at specified baseball Spring Training venues throughout the month of March.
The tour kicks off March 2. Screeners will be looking for early signs of skin cancer while promoting sun safety, skin cancer awareness and education. Free Spring Swing t-shirts and Blue Lizard® Australian Sunscreen will be given to those who are screened.
During the previous four Spring Training seasons, Spring Swing screened more than 2,000 people, identifying 1,059 suspected cancerous lesions or suspected pre-cancerous lesions. Year-over-year, the program has found a 10 percent increase in suspected skin cancers.
