KUMHO SIGNS ON TO PARTNER CAMP QUALITY 

Kumho Tyre has announced it has signed on children’s cancer charity Camp Quality as its major partner. 


Camp Quality gives kids facing cancer the chance to be kids again, with services and programs created specifically to help children from birth to 15 years, who are dealing with their own cancer diagnosis, or the diagnosis of someone they love, like a brother, sister, mum or dad.


As part of the partnership, Kumho Tyre will undertake activities via hundreds of tyre dealers and tyre fitters across the Kumho network all around Australia, through special Camp Quality merchandise raising funds and awareness for the charity.


According to Kumho Tyre Australia’s managing director, John Jeon, the association with Camp Quality is a significant one for Kumho and will be the company’s major philanthropic focus in the future. 


“Kumho is incredibly proud to be a corporate partner of Camp Quality because of the key role it plays in supporting children and families experiencing the challenges of cancer as well as providing valuable cancer education in schools across the community,” said Mr. Jeon. 


“As a global company Kumho is committed to community involvement, and supporting Camp Quality is just one demonstration of Kumho giving something back to the community,” he said.


Kumho Tyre Australia, national marketing manager, Kenny Chun, said Kumho has a proud history of supporting worthy community charities over many years.

“We are really pleased to have signed on to partner with Camp Quality,” Kenny Chun added.


More than 7500 kids facing cancer are registered for services and programs with Camp Quality. It’s estimated that 750 kids aged 0-15 are newly diagnosed with cancer each year, with the charity supporting around 59 per cent of these children with their services and programs.


Camp Quality CEO, Deborah Thomas, said the partnership will enable Camp Quality to continue to provide much-needed services and programs to kids impacted by cancer. 


“We are delighted to be chosen by Kumho Tyres as their charity partner and look forward to working with the Kumho team so that together we can create positive memories which help change the cancer story for kids and their families: in-hospital, at home, at school and away from it all on camps and retreats”.

Off-road expert and adventurer Denny Danis of Team Bullet Off Road has heaped praise on Kumho Tyres versatile and practical all terrain AT52 tyres following his latest adventure through a rain affected and muddy Central Australia, including a Simpson Desert Crossing and a run back from Birdsville via Moree in Northern NSW. Denny said the AT52s on his 79 Series Toyota LandCruiser ute, out-performed all of the specialist mud terrain tyres on the five other Toyota’s which were part of the convoy, particularly in what was very muddy trip across the Simpson and coping with the equally wet conditions in the channel country south from Birdsville. Team Bullet showcased its well-travelled 79 Series fitted with its Kumho AT52s at the Australian 4x4 and Adventure Show at Sydney International Dragway in September. Denny said that the Central Australian trip which tracked west from Sydney and up to Coober Pedy, before heading to Mt Dare and across the Madigan Line crossing of the Simpson before returning to Sydney, covered about 8000 kms and was a stern test given the massive rainfall in weeks prior to the trek.
