Protect Your Kids!

Did you know...?

• One in five Americans develops skin cancer during their lifetime.
• Most sun exposure occurs before the age of 18.
• Every hour one person dies from this disease.
• Infants are especially at risk, because their melanin (the skin pigment that provides a small amount of sun protection) is not fully developed.

Skin Cancer is considered an epidemic.

Skin Cancer is the most common and rapidly growing form of cancer in America. It is a growing concern amongst Federal, State and Local governments as well as non-profit organizations who are studying skin cancer prevention and sun safety programs.

The good news is that it is preventable.

Shadeports, shade canopies, shade structures, shade awnings, sun shades, shade sails, sun screens, patio canopies, deck awnings, and anything that provides easily accessible sun protection for children will go a long way in preventing your child from developing skin cancer.

Here's where Velarium shade products
by TricoShade come in:

Velarium brand shade products manufactured by TricoShade provide up to 98% UV protection. They can be used as patio and deck awnings, outdoor canopies, as well as to provide shade for swimming pools. Very importantly, they can provide shade over outdoor school or pre-school playground equipment, or backyard play areas. The canopy netting comes in many colors, allowing you to incorporate sun protection and beauty into your home improvement and landscaping designs.

Dr. Andrew Manthe, head of the California Skin Cancer Prevention Program reported in a speech to the Texas Head Start Association on July 10, 2002 that our "shadeports offer good protection from UV rays as well as reduce air temperature."
