Teixeira, the NFCR, and COPPERTONE SPORT(R) are inviting Americans to visit www.coppertone.com to take the "Help Strike Out Sun Damage" pledge. Consumers visiting the site can commit to helping protect their skin from UV damage while enjoying their favorite outdoor activities this summer and beyond. For every person who takes the pledge, COPPERTONE SPORT(R) will donate one dollar, up to $30,000, to the NFCR to fund skin cancer research.
"As a professional baseball player, my job requires me to spend a great deal of time in the sun, so it's essential for me to guard my skin from the sun's harmful UV rays with a powerful sunscreen that protects me even when I am playing my hardest, which is why I choose COPPERTONE SPORT(R)," said Teixeira, who has trained and played in hot, sunny climates. "For my career and my family, it's important to stay healthy. That's why I'm passionate about teaming up with the NFCR and COPPERTONE SPORT(R) to get the message out that we all need to help protect ourselves from sun damage--whether on the field or in the bleachers."
The makers of COPPERTONE SPORT(R) will also be launching a series of events at Yankees Stadium throughout the baseball season to help educate Yankees fans about the importance of sun protection. Some of these events will feature the COPPERTONE DERMAPHOTO(TM) booth, which takes a UV photo of the face revealing signs of skin damage invisible to the naked eye that may have been caused by past sun exposure. To help fans keep themselves protected, the makers of COPPERTONE(R) will provide an opportunity to try COPPERTONE SPORT(R), the official sunscreen of the New York Yankees.
"We are excited to be working with Mark Teixeira and the makers of COPPERTONE SPORT(R) on this educational campaign," said Franklin Salisbury, Jr., President of the NFCR. "The National Foundation for Cancer Research is committed to informing Americans about reducing their risks of developing this disease. Certain forms of skin cancer are preventable, and we hope this program will help raise awareness of the importance of sun protection and, in doing so, make a significant contribution to skin cancer research."
