DEFEAT MELANOMA ON THE TODAY SHOW ALMOST MADE THE GUINNESS WORLD RECORD!

May 18, 2018


Thanks to NBC, the Today Show and all those who came out in New York City on Melanoma Monday on May 7 when we tried to set the record for most people putting on sunscreen simultaneously!

The record to beat was 1,822 people — and that record still stands. The TODAY plaza didn’t quite beat it, according to Guinness adjudicator Alex Angert.

“But we had a packed plaza of people that have learned in a fun the importance of putting on sunscreen,” he pointed out, while also presenting a plaque acknowledging the record for “Largest Today Show crowd to support a good cause.”

P.S. We have told Guinness World Records that we’ll be back!

People crowded the TODAY Plaza to break a world record for most people putting on sunscreen at once.

A few minutes and a dollop of sunscreen can be enough to save your life, a point demonstrated by a huge crowd of people who gathered on the TODAY plaza to help raise awareness about Melanoma Monday.

As part of skin cancer awareness month, TODAY anchors called out for people to help them shatter a Guinness World Record for “most people applying sunscreen simultaneously.”

Watch us on the TODAY Show!
