Date:5/5/2008

Applications Available Today for 2009 AAD Shade Structure Program

SCHAUMBURG, Ill., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the ways to protect yourself from the damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun is to seek shade, especially during the peak sun hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. However, for many daycare centers, schools and recreational organizations, these hours are prime times for outdoor educational programs and recess.

William Hanke, MD, FAAD, president of the Academy. "Combined, these 37 shade structures will be used by more than 23,427 individuals every day. The Academy is proud to work with these organizations to reinforce the importance of protecting the skin when outdoors."
