SpaFinder is a devoted advocate of melanoma awareness, a cause near and dear to our hearts. Our 2010 industry-wide educational campaign focuses on spreading a greater understanding about sun damage and the importance of daily sunscreen use, self-examination, and yearly dermatologist full-body checkups. Take this opportunity to strengthen your relationship with clients and your community in a way that is not just skin deep! Melanoma is the most serious type of skin cancer. More than 65,000 people will be diagnosed this year, and an estimated 11,000 of those will lose their lives. We urge our SpaFinder Partners to raise awareness about the dangers of melanoma by organizing charity events, educating clients on sun safety, and promoting sunscreen use to spa-goers. The SpaFinder "I will reflect" bracelets can be sold or given away at your spa, which we hope will encourage conversation about melanoma prevention. Bracelets are available to SpaFinder Partners at cost - minimum order is 10 for £2.00 per bracelet, plus postage. These special bracelets change colour when exposed to harmful UVA rays, reminding wearers to apply sunscreen. When you join SpaFinder's effort to fight melanoma, we will list you under "Our Supporting Spas." You may also chose to donate any proceeds from bracelet sales, to a melanoma prevention charity of your choice. To place an order for SpaFinder's "I Will Reflect" bracelets or to tell us what you are doing to raise melanoma awareness, please contact Monika Kalpokaite at monika@spafindereurope.com or +44 (0) 870 121 6066. The Melanoma Awareness Initiative is global and has been running in the US for several years – this is the first year we've promoted it to our UK spas. Come on UK spas, get on board!
