NOTE:
Of the
50 states, Georgia is projected to have the 12th highest number of new
cases of melanoma – the deadliest form of skin cancer – with an estimated 2,180
new cases expected in 2014. Men are particularly at risk, as men over 50 are at
a greater risk of developing melanoma than the general public; yet, only 18%
nationwide visit a doctor for an annual skin cancer screening, according to a
recent American Academy of Dermatology survey.
This year, the Falcons are RISING UP
and joining the American Academy of Dermatology’s SPOT me campaign to raise
awareness of skin cancer and its risk factors and encourage people to make skin
health a priority by getting regular skin cancer screenings from a
board-certified dermatologist. The Falcons and
American
Academy of Dermatology are offering all fans a chance to get a FREE skin cancer
screening during the training camp kick-off weekend.
Everyone
who receives a skin cancer screening will be eligible to win memorabilia
autographed by Falcons’ players.
