When Kumho Tyre announced its support of children’s cancer charity Camp Quality it committed to running a major fund raising promotion across its dealer network across Australia.
With more than 7500 kids facing cancer registered for services and programs with Camp Quality, and an estimated 750 aged between 0 – 15 being diagnosed every year, Camp Quality needs all the help it can get.
The new Camp Quality fundraising program includes ‘new car’ fragrance air fresheners and sets of yellow tyre valve caps for Kumho Dealers to raise funds and awareness for this incredibly important charity.
Camp Quality CEO Deborah Thomas says the partnership will enable Camp Quality to continue to provide much needed services and support to kids impacted by cancer.
‘We’re delighted to be chosen by Kumho Tyres as their charity partner and look forward to working with the Kumho team so we can create a positive experience for the kids and their families during this difficult time.’ says Deborah.
