All SunWise materials are available free of charge. You can find a list of available documents on our publications page, and videos on our basic information page. Feel free to order multiple copies so that you can educate yourself, and your neighbors, friends, and family. Simply call the National Service Center for Environmental Publications at 1-800-490-9198 or e-mail your request to nscep@bps-lmit.com. See the NSCEP Web site for more information about ordering documents.

Sign up for free UV Alert messages.
Sign up to receive the SunWise News Roundup, a weekly e-mail containing a comprehensive list of sun safety articles from the past week.
Ask your community pool to distribute sun safety documents and/or put up signage encouraging sun safety.
Integrate sun safety lessons into your scout troop, 4-H, or other youth group meetings.
Educate local officials about skin cancer rates in your state by providing them with a state-specific skin cancer fact sheet.
