7 C O M M U N I T Y O U T R E A C H & P R O G R A M S Coast-2-Coast Program TOPS Program Regional Groups WDS promotes Sun Safety through Play Safe in the Sun, a broad-based national campaign. Through a wide range of outreaches nationwide, Play Safe in the Sun offers free skin cancer screenings, educational materials and literature, and complimentary samples of sunscreen. Each outreach is led by local WDS dermatologists, and the campaign is designed to help spread awareness of skin cancer prevention and proper skin health. Since the initiative began in 2004, 3 additional community outreach programs have been established: Coast-2-Coast, Dove Movement for Self- Esteem, and TOPS (time out, protect your skin) Program. Coast-2-Coast Program: This member-driven program extends past the summer months to provide tools for local sun safety and skin cancer prevention activities. Through this initiative, members are encouraged and equipped to create their own educational outreach event in their offices and/or communities throughout the year! TOPS (time out, protect your skin) Program: With the goal of educating parents and children about sun safety both inside the classroom and outside, the TOPS Program was created and is making a real difference to raise awareness about skin cancer and sun protection one school at a time. Through this program, WDS educates teachers, students, parents, and all school faculty on ways to improve sun-safe behavior and also provides a shade structure for each school s playground. W D S R E G I O N A L G R O U P S By creating WDS Regional Groups, the hope is to help facilitate local gatherings where networking, service, and educational projects can be planned and carried out more expeditiously, including projects and events that can be held concurrently in different cities with national organizational help. These groups will also be a channel for communication about the great things that are happening throughout the Women s Dermatologic Society.
