Clothing must have a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of at least 15 to be considered sun protective. A typical t-shirt has a UPF of 7 (Source: Morehouse School of Medicine). Splashskins are UPF 30 or above (blocking out 96-98% of the sun's damaging rays). Learn More!

T-Shirts will be given out prior to the event at the Registration and Expo. T-Shirts will not feature the word 'finisher' on them. PLEASE NOTE: T-shirts are printed to order, please be careful when selecting your size as they cannot be exchanged.

No, our equipment is state of the art and minimizes patient exposure. We use the most advanced digital X-ray technique. The office follows ADA guidelines as to the frequency of radiographs. X-rays are never automatically taken, the decision is based upon clinical experience. All our units have filters and we use the fastest film speed possible. Additionally, you will be covered with a lead apron decreasing your exposure to negligible levels.

A Coleman T-shirt will be provided to every camper. Coleman has established a partnership with Bunkline to provide camp logo merchandise to campers and their families; their catalog will be sent to registered campers in the spring. Their website is www.bunkline.com.

Several safety measures protect service technicians and homeowners from eye or skin UV exposure, including a lamp shutoff switch, and a sight glass for safe and easy lamp inspection. A protective cover with a safety interlock switch immediately deactivates the lamp before the service technician or homeowner can access or service the unit. The effectiveness of germicidal UV-C is limited once molds, which are more resistant to UV energy than airborne bacteria, have already formed on surfaces.

The sun is the number one reason why the skin ages. UVA rays penetrate deep into the skin and destroy the support structure of the skin, causing the surface to appear wrinkled. UVB rays affect the surface of the skin, and will cause the skin to burn. Multiple burns on the skin before the age of 18 will cause the skin to age dramatically in the 30's,and will also increase the probability of developing skin cancer.

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer does not give out free t-shirts for participating in the walk. We’re guessing you have enough already and we know that the dollars you’ve worked so hard to raise can be better spent on our important research, education, advocacy and patient service programs. We hope you agree.

We ask that each walker raise at least $100 in order to receive a free Walk to Cure Diabetes t-shirt. Walkers who raise $100 or more will receive a ticket at registration that they can redeem at the t-shirt table for a shirt. After registration has been completed, remaining Walk t-shirts will be sold for $10 each.

You betcha! We sell t-shirts, buttons, stickers and all kinds of different promo merchandise. Check out our official shop for the hottest Etsy merch, straight out of Brooklyn, NY:

In tests that do use ionizing radiation, the dose is usually very small, and is often similar to what you would get from natural background radiation in everyday life. As an example, a dose for a typical X-ray procedure might be 30 - 1,000 mr. Despite extensive study of the effects of radiation, direct evidence does not show that these doses are harmful to humans.

Yes, the fabric provides a complete block from UV rays. Our optional items, our Solar Shield and "Weather Wrap?", will provide the same protection for the screen runs.

A fan T-shirt project was recently completed. The T-shirt features the cover of the TMA CD single on the front, and the words "I Hate Music" on the back. Go to http://www.gis.net/~jdimaria/tcs/rare/rare.html to see scans of the shirt and ordering information. I have also heard that there may be another T-shirt project announced soon. Details will be available at http://www.gis.net/~jdimaria/tcs/rare/rare.html.

All teams with team t-shirts are automatically entered into the team t-shirt contest. Three celebrity judges will be judging the shirts during the Walk and choosing finalists. The finalists will be invited to participate in a team t-shirt fashion show to take place at 1:30pm. The winner of the contest will be selected by audience cheering.

Using a sunscreen that has zinc as an ingredient as well as offering protection from UVA and UVB rays is your best bet. The number of the SPF factor has nothing to do with potency. In other words, SPF 45 isn't stronger than SPF 15. It means the time in which to reapply. As it only takes 10 minutes for the sun's rays to burn the skin, the factor is times 10. For SPF 30 it would mean 30 x's 10 = 300 minutes or 5 hours before reapplication.

There is very little risk from receiving dental X-rays. Our state-of-the-art technology utilizes a fraction of the radiation used in the past. X-rays are highly valuable to find hidden decay, tumors and determine growth patterns. » Return to Top
