Proderma plays at Buick

Cromwell, Conn. – PGA Tour player Doug Barron and Proderma will donate sunscreen to select Cromwell and Hartford area youth programs via “Proderma'’s Cool Kids Wear Sunscreen” campaign, commensurate with Barron’s performance in the Buick Championship, played through Aug. 28 at the Tournament Players Club at River Highlands.

Year-to-date, Barron has competed in 13 Tour events via the campaign, donating more than 8,400 units of Proderma sunscreen to local youth charities and junior golf programs. His best finish came at the EDS Byron Nelson in May, where finished tied for third and donated 1,000 units of sunscreen to the Dallas Chapter of the First Tee Program.

To lend visibility to the campaign, Barron will wear the “Proderma’s Cool Kids Wear Sunscreen” logo on his headwear, and skin-cancer prevention and related information will be distributed on the tournament grounds. Barron will also make himself available to local television, print and radio media to discuss the Cool Kids Wear Sunscreen campaign, its educational goals and potential impact.

“The Buick Championship is a great tournament with a tremendous fan base, and I am excited to introduce the Cool Kids Wear Sunscreen campaign to young persons and junior golfers in the area,” Barron says.
