Recently, he was invited to attend a presentation by the Richard David Kann (RDK) Melanoma Foundation. The lesson in sun safety was being held by St. Laurentius School and Holy Name Church in Fishtown, Philadelphia.
There, Schneider met Sue Diverio, Executive Director Of Education & Operations at the RDK Melanoma Foundation. They agreed it would be a great idea to bring this presentation to lifeguards on the Wildwood Beach Patrol.
Diverio presented her lesson on how to be 'Sun Smart,' with the word 'SMART' being an acronym. It emphasizes the need to (S) seek shade, (M) moisturize with SPF, (A) apply sunscreen, (R) remember protective clothing, and (T) time your exposure and limit time in the sun.
In addition, the Wildwood Beach Patrol acquired new sun-safe uniforms for its lifeguards, which were made by the company, Raypella.
