AND FINALLY
MKM pull their pants on for the Oddballs Foundation
MKM has renewed its partnership with The OddBalls Foundation for the 3rd year running, raising awareness of testicular cancer with tradesmen in April with its ‘Check Your Tools’ campaign. MKM has launched a 3,000-strong exclusive line of MKM-
branded underwear in collaboration with The OddBalls Foundation. Playing the lead role in this year’s campaign, MKM’s towering 6’5” mascot ‘Bricky’ will be front and centre, taking to the catwalk in an obscenely large pair of the branded underwear in the official 2024 Check Your Tools video and making special appearances alongside The OddBalls Foundation’s University Ambassadors at MKM branches nationwide.
The ginormous walking brick will also attend select Hull City football matches; Hull vs. Middlesbrough on April 10, Hull vs. QPR on April 13, and Hull vs. Ipswich on April 27, leafleting and supporting The OddBalls Foundation’s team to deliver testicular cancer awareness training to staff and customers.
On June 1, MKM will round off the ‘Check Your Tools’ campaign as sponsor of The OddBalls Foundation Festival, a fun day of rugby, hockey and netball at the University of Nottingham Sports’ Highfields Complex and the Nottingham Hockey Centre to raise awareness of The OddBalls Foundation.
