Dalhart Rotary Club was awarded a grant from the
Harrington Cancer and Health Foundation to install free sunscreen dispensers at all City of Dalhart parks. The grant awarded is aimed at cancer prevention initiatives throughout the Texas Panhandle region. Access to sun protection plays an important role in skin cancer prevention and the free use of these stations is expected to promote sunscreen use for children and families at the Swimming Pool, Splashpad, and
City parks.
“The Dalhart Rotary Club is proud of continuing collaborations it has established over the past year, all with the aim of expanding our reach throughout the community and filling unmet needs. Our community will gain from the installation of these sunscreen stations without spending any money,” said Dalhart Rotary Club President, Alfonso Venegas. The first sunscreen station has been installed at the Dalhart City Pool and the others will be installed shortly.
