  RECOGNIZING THE SPRING SWING SUN SAFETY PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN MOFFITT 
                CANCER CENTER AND MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. W. GREGORY STEUBE

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 11, 2022

  Mr. STEUBE. Madam Speaker, my colleague, Mr. Donalds from Florida, 
and I are grateful to recognize the Spring Swing Sun Safety partnership 
between Moffitt Cancer Center and Major League Baseball. This 
partnership works to prevent skin cancer by offering sun safety 
education and free skin cancer screenings at Spring Training baseball 
games. Such efforts are important here in Florida, the Sunshine State, 
where we see a high incidence of melanoma and other deadly forms of 
skin cancer.
  We are pleased, therefore, to join with Moffitt Cancer Center and 
Major League Baseball to raise awareness to combat this disease. It is 
important to limit sun exposure when possible, wear sunscreen if you 
are in the sun, and have your skin checked by a health care 
professional once a year. We hope all baseball fans safely enjoy 
Florida's sunshine and the great tradition of Spring Training baseball 
in our state.
