Now that the summer months are officially hear and many places are easing out of lockdown restrictions, families are eager to enjoy the good weather and Banana Boat is launching the Pedal for Our Planet challenge. The challenge aims to get people outside in a safe way and for every mile that's recorded, they will earn a donation toward green initatives.
The sunscreen brand is introducing this summer challenge with fitness and cycling tracking app Strava and for every 10 miles logged via the in-app challenge, Banana Boat will donate $10 to the Captain Planet Foundation, up to $20,000.
As well as supporting summer fun and important environmental issues, the challenge helps to remind people to stay safe with proper sun protection.
