Lani Alcazar Talks about CATCH on TV

This week, Lani Alcazar, a program coordinator for Brighter Bites in Houston, was invited to appear on Conexion Texas, a program that airs on Saturday and Sunday mornings on Univision all over the state of Texas. She and Dr. Joxel Garcia, Executive Director of the Cancer Prevention and Control Platform at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, spoke about the importance of teaching people about sun care protection.

At Brighter Bites, Lani and her colleagues teach nutrition lessons from CATCH (Coordinated Approach to Child Health) during summer camp programs. This season they are including lessons from the Sunbeatables™ curriculum, which was developed by skin cancer experts at MD Anderson and aims to educate teachers, parents, and children about sun protection and promote sun safety behaviors in an effort to reduce children’s lifetime risk of developing skin cancer.
