This June, the Stony Brook Cancer Center CPiA team partnered with Harmony Healthcare, Women\u2019s Diversity Network, and the Childcare Council of Nassau County to host a sun safety family night event for the families of the Nassau County Perinatal Infant Community Health Collaborative (PICHC) program at the Yes We Can Community Center in Westbury, Nassau County. PICHC families, along with their community health workers, attended this family friendly event where parents learned about skin cancer prevention for themselves, their infants, and children, with live interpretation in Spanish and Haitian-Creole. Meanwhile, children colored in their new SunBeatables coloring books, then played sun safety games with CPiA staff including \u201cSunny Says\u201d (Simon Says) and \u201cHot Sun\u201d (Hot Potato). Parents then received free sunscreen, sunglasses, SPF lip balms, and sun safety tip sheets to help protect themselves and their children from UV overexposure this summer season.<\/p>

Our partners at the Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign (CCMAC) joined in on the fun, with organization founder and CPiA community champion, Colette Coyne, and director, Cory Eisner, attending with their donation of UPF infant rash guard shirts for PICHC families with infants.<\/p>

Thank you to our community partners at PICHC, Harmony Healthcare, Women\u2019s Diversity Network, Childcare Council of Nassau, Yes We Can Community Center, and Colette Coyne Melanoma Awareness Campaign for taking action against skin cancer with CPiA!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
