Melanoma Fund launches scheme for golf clubs

As part of the Slip! Slap! Swing! campaign, the Melanoma Fund in launching a sponsored sunboard scheme to get free sunscreen dispensers into 100 golf clubs this year, complimenting educational resources, to benefit the wellbeing of members and greenkeepers.

Each sunboard (600 X 400) contains a sunscreen dispenser, loaded with a 1Lt cartridge of SPF50 Stokoderm sunscreen, and a UV dial to support educational information on how, when and why to apply.

The charity is seeking sponsorship of 100 sunboards in total, in units of 10 boards at £690, which includes a full colour logo within a 200mm x 55mm space at the top of the board, plus delivery.

Says Richard Flint at England Golf: “As an official Slip! Slap! Swing! supporter, England Golf is fully behind the Melanoma Fund’s new drive to get sunboards installed in golf clubs. With golfers more prone to skin cancer than non-golfers, making sunscreen more accessible will help change attitudes and habits around sun protection making golf a safer sport for all.”

This exclusive rate is a one-off cost lasting the life of the board, which is around three years.
