The Reading Fightin’ Phils, Double-A affiliate of the Philadelphia Phillies, welcome baseball legend, Hall of Famer and former R-Phil/Philadelphia Phillie Mike Schmidt to FirstEnergy Stadium on Tuesday, June 30, ahead of the Fightin Phils’ 7 p.m. game against the New Hampshire Fisher Cats.

Schmidt will join Dermatology Partners and the Richard David Kann (RDK) Melanoma Foundation to give a pre-game presentation on the importance of sun safety. The presentation is part of the organizations’ “Play Sun Safe” campaign, a community-focused initiative to combat skin cancer by bringing sun safety education and free sunscreen access directly to local sports fans and players.

Schmidt is a melanoma survivor who is dedicated to ensuring the next generation of players and fans understand the importance of skin protection.

“As a professional baseball player, I spent most of my career in the sun — without sunscreen,” Schmidt said. “While my career was thriving, my skin was being damaged by the harmful rays of the sun. Now, I’m committed to making sure the next generation of players and fans understands how to protect themselves.”

The presentation by Mike Schmidt is open to everyone attending the June 30 game and will begin at approximately 6:15 p.m. on the Mitsubishi Chemical Group Stage in the Diamond Credit Union Plaza.

Gates to the Diamond Credit Union Plaza open at 5 p.m., and the main seating bowl opens at 6 p.m. Fans are encouraged to arrive early on June 30 ahead of Schmidt’s presentation prior to the game.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
