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 2012 tour kicked off March 2. Screeners looked 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 was given to those who were 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.
