Phoenix Partner with Schweiger Dermatology Group (SDG) for 2022 Home Opener

PHILADELPHIA – The Philadelphia Phoenix, Philadelphia’s professional ultimate team, is pleased to announce Schweiger Dermatology Group (SDG) as a new partner for the 2022 AUDL season. The partnership will focus on the May 13th home opener and kick off the Phoenix season celebrating Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month. It will also include sun protection and educational public service announcements from Schweiger Dermatology featured on the Phoenix social media platforms and presence at several future Phoenix home games.

“We are thrilled to partner with Dr. Chung and the Philadelphia Phoenix this season to help encourage healthy skin habits amongst the many fans that come out to watch their favorite ultimate frisbee team play,†says Laura Fink, Chief Marketing & Growth Officer at Schweiger Dermatology Group.

The Phoenix have a large fan base in Millennial and Generation Z demographics and the Philadelphia region is home to one of the country’s largest Ultimate communities. Professional ultimate is growing rapidly – three new expansion teams entered the league this year and, in addition to Game of the Week broadcast agreements in the U.S, Europe and South Asia, the AUDL recently announced a new initiative aimed at cultivating relationships with the robust Latin American ultimate communities. With the sport’s upward trajectory, building partnerships with entities such as Schweiger Dermatology Group is another step forward. Phoenix managing partner, Christina Lee Chung, MD said, “As an avid sportswoman and dermatologist, I acutely understand the importance of sun protection and routine skin examinations, particularly for athletes who play outdoor sports like ultimate, tennis, and soccer. The negative effects of spending so much time in the sun don’t appear until later in life, so prevention is key. I can’t stress enough how important it is to get into good habits early on so I’m delighted to embark on a partnership with Schweiger that brings both skin cancer awareness and access to dermatologic care to our community.â€

The Philadelphia Phoenix is a professional ultimate team and member of the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL); the premier professional ultimate league in North America, with 25 teams across the United States and Canada. The Philadelphia franchise was founded in 2012 as one of the original eight founding teams of the AUDL. The team plays their home games at the South Philadelphia Supersite. Season tickets and Single Game Tickets for the upcoming season are available through the team’s official online store.

About Schweiger Dermatology Group

Schweiger Dermatology Group was founded to help make excellent dermatology care accessible throughout the Northeast. In 2010, Dr. Eric Schweiger started the practice with a single location in Midtown Manhattan. When he saw the need for high-quality dermatology care that did not require weeks or months of waiting to see a qualified provider, his vision of a multi-location practice was born.
