American Academy of Dermatology Shade Structure Program
How many public areas in your community have enough shade?
Look at your children’s playgrounds, your local public parks, local community centers and recreational areas – are there shade structures available?
We hear all too often that we need to “Seek Shade” during peak hours of the day, and what we at SUMMERSKIN have realized is that seeking shade outdoors isn’t always possible.
Which is why....
SUMMERSKIN is proud to support the American Academy of Dermatology’s Shade Structure Grant Program. The American Academy of Dermatology provides grants for organizations to build permanent community shade structures.
Each shade structure provides coverage for as many as 600 people every day. Think of how many people you could protect in your community!
