Dermatology Partners Champions Skin Health as the Official UV Index Sponsor, Urging Phillies Fans to Stay Sun-Safe During "Red October" and Beyond
October 7, 2024
Dermatology Partners, the Mid-Atlantic’s premier privately owned, physician-led dermatology group specializing in medical and surgical dermatology in Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Maryland, proudly congratulates the 2024 NL East Champion Philadelphia Phillies on an incredible regular season! As the city prepares for another exciting postseason and “Red October” begins, we are proud to have supported Phillies fans all season long as the official UV Index Sponsor of the game, raising awareness about skin cancer and sun safety.
This past season, Dermatology Partners partnered with NBC Sports Philadelphia to promote sun safety awareness among Phillies fans. As the UV Index Sponsor, we provided the UV Index during Sunday pre-game shows, helping fans understand the risks of sun exposure and encouraging them to take precautions to protect their skin. This initiative was part of our commitment to extending skin health education to the heart of Philadelphia’s sports scene.
“At Dermatology Partners, we believe in the power of education and prevention when it comes to skin health,” said Andrew Kay, Vice President of Growth and Business Development at Dermatology Partners. “Partnering with NBC Sports Philadelphia for Phillies home games allowed us to reach a wide audience and reinforce the message of sun safety while enjoying outdoor activities. The temperature and weather are always provided to fans so they know to dress properly for games.”
Continued Kay, “By providing the UV Index information, our goal was to encourage healthy habits and remind fans of the importance of protecting their skin while enjoying America’s favorite pastime, including in the post-season.”
Through this partnership, Dermatology Partners reaffirmed its dedication to promoting skin health and supporting the communities it serves. As fans celebrated a successful regular season, whether from the stands or from their homes, we were there to remind them to stay sun-safe while cheering on the Phillies.
In addition to the UV Index updates, Dermatology Partners also featured provider interviews and 30-second commercials on NBC Sports Philadelphia and NBC10 broadcasts. Reaching over one million viewers across the tri-state area, these commercials offered invaluable opportunities to educate the community about the importance of regular skin checks, sun protection, and the early detection of skin cancer.
Here’s to a thrilling postseason, and we look forward to continuing to promote healthier, happier communities. Go Phillies and Go Red October!
