The Enright Sun Safety CertificationTM (ESSC) is a training and online certification program that has been developed by melanoma professionals to teach you about the dangers of too much sun exposure.  This program has been made possible by a grant from The Horizon Foundation for New Jersey.

This course, designed by leading physicians, is not only for individuals, but also for lifeguards, camp counselors, coaches, daycare providers, and other outdoor recreation educators who influence children and teens.  This information will allow you to provide the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to instill life-long sun safety behaviors for yourself, and in the children under your care.  Everyone ages 12 and over can benefit from the important information presented here, and therefore it is encouraged that this free course be shared with as many individuals as possible.  

Take the free course and be certified by June 30, 2013, and you will automatically be entered to win a basket of sun safety products.   Winner will be chosen randomly and notified by July 3, 2013.
