Adventure Park: Lake Grove, member of Stony Brook Cancer Center\u2019s advancement council, and co-founder of Block the Sun, Not the Fun annual sun safety family day. <\/strong><\/p><p>Dave\u2019s personal and professional commitment to cancer prevention shines as bright as the sun. But don\u2019t worry, he always suns safely! Dave\u2019s passion for health and wellness within Long Island\u2019s children\u2019s entertainment industry has driven him to partner with Cancer Prevention in Action for numerous initiatives, including \u2018Block the Sun, Not the Fun\u2019. The first annual family friendly sun safety day was held in May 2022 at Smith Haven Mall, Suffolk County with the goal of raising awareness of skin cancer and promoting sun safety to Long Island\u2019s children and families ahead of the summer season. Not only did Dave support this endeavor with his own business, Urban Air Adventure Park of Lake Grove, Dave spread the word to his many contacts in the children\u2019s entertainment industry urging them to join the cause. Thanks to Dave\u2019s tireless efforts, over 1000 children and families were educated about the importance of sun safety and provided free sunscreen and sun safety gear, and five local outdoor children and family destinations have committed to adopt a sun safety policy for their business. While Urban Air is an indoor adventure park, all who pass through its doors are reminded to practice sun safety with sunscreen samples and informational flyers available to all guests. Dave does all of this while fighting his own battle with cancer, taking action to prevent cancer so others do not have to endure the harsh realities of cancer treatment. \u201cIf all we do is save one child\u2019s life, this is all worth it.\u201d, says Dave of his cancer prevention efforts.<\/p><p><em><strong>David Wolmetz passed away on June 9<sup>th<\/sup>, 2023.

The Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign was founded by Mrs. Coyne, her late husband Patrick, and her family, with the goal of preventing others from experiencing the awful pain of losing a loved one to melanoma. With the help of countless volunteers who have been impacted by Melanoma, the Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign remains active in skin cancer prevention. In almost 25 years, this 501(c)(3) has launched numerous prevention programs including but not limited to the \u201cBe Sun Smart\u201d educational programming for schools, free skin cancer screening events, numerous media ads and PSAs, and countless donations of shade, sunscreen, and sun safety gear to local organizations. Ms. Coyne worked tirelessly throughout her career to advocate for legislation restricting indoor tanning. In 2005, the Colette Coyne Skin Cancer Prevention Bill was passed in Nassau County, prohibiting minors from indoor tanning facilities. This was shortly followed by Suffolk County\u2019s Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Law, and eventually paved way for the New York State Indoor Tanning Law in 2018, prohibiting minors from indoor tanning facilities statewide. Ms. Coyne continues her work by collaborating with Cancer Prevention in Action on community cancer prevention efforts. The work of Ms. Coyne and the foundation serves as an inspiration to our CPiA team in our mutual goals of reducing skin cancer rates in our community.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_ae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8a3fa7a ae-bg-gallery-type-default\" data-id=\"8a3fa7a\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e10fd4f elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"e10fd4f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"622\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/takeactionagainstcancer.com\/stony-brook-cancer-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/CCMAC.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1174\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/takeactionagainstcancer.com\/stony-brook-cancer-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/CCMAC.jpg 622w, https:\/\/takeactionagainstcancer.com\/stony-brook-cancer-center\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/08\/CCMAC-300x232.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 622px) 100vw, 622px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e5eea0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e5eea0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><em>Colette Coyne (pictured third from right) honored by Town of North Hempstead for 25 years of dedicate service for the Long Island community.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><p><em>Pictured from left to right: Cory Eisner, Director of CCMAC; Elaine Phillips Nassau County Comptroller; J.

As co-chair of the Suffolk County Dept. Of Health Cancer Prevention and Health Promotion Coalition, Amy brings together voices from Suffolk\u2019s leading public health agencies, hospitals, and community organizations to unite us in our shared goal of cancer prevention. Amy is a true advocate for the CPiA motto; get the facts, reduce the risk, and spread the word. Through the coalition, Suffolk County has access to current and local cancer statistics, evidence-based prevention strategies, and resources for care and education for the prevention of skin cancer, HPV cancers, and numerous other cancers. In addition, Amy and the Department\u2019s Office of Minority Health works diligently to address cancer disparities in Suffolk County by sharing the resources and platform of the coalition to organizations leading the charge to support cancer prevention in Suffolk\u2019s most underserved communities. Amy has joined CPiA in taking action against cancer by providing HPV cancer education and on-site vaccinations for the Hispanic community of Brentwood, developing social media messaging for youth on the dangers of indoor tanning, and creating new and improved websites dedicated to educating the Suffolk County community on prevention of cervical cancer, information and resources for HPV vaccination, and prevention of skin cancer (site in development).
