To get the message out to kids of all ages about the importance of skin cancer prevention, Mayo Clinic created a cartoon-style public service announcement in 2013, "Have Fun in the Sun, But Be Sun Smart." In the announcement, two moles enjoy a sunny day at the beach. One is protected from the sun. The other isn't. He gets a sunburn that ruins his day and develops a skin mole that sends him to his health care provider. The health care provider explains the danger of skin cancer and the importance of sun smarts: using sunscreen, skipping tanning beds, seeking shade and getting spots checked.
Watch: Have fun in the sun, but be sun smart.
