Did you know that prostate cancer in men was estimated to be the top most of the common cancers in 2016? According to a study, the chances of patients surviving a minimum of 5 years (estimated over 2008 to 2012) was put at a whopping 94%.
Ozkilts supports this KTKC initiative by being the preferred sponsor of utility and sports kilts, while offering joint promotions and kilts for the KTKC team to help promote this great cause.
Kilts and Prostate Cancer – The Equation
In an innovative approach, the KTKC team uses the kilt to spark discussions on prostate cancer. The first question on people’s minds when they see someone wearing a kilt is, “What’s under that kilt?” The KTKC team uses this question as an opening to educate people about prostate cancer.
As a leading name in quality handmade kilts, Ozkilts is proud to be associated with KTKC, and its cause. Be it a sports kilt or utility kilt, Ozkilts has a trendy collection for lovers of the kilt.
