Planters Partners with the Movember Foundation to Support Men’s Health
PITTSBURGH & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As a 102-year-old nut expert, Mr. Peanut knows a thing or two
about nuts and is passionate about helping men prevent testicular
cancer. This Movember, everyone’s WingNut, will teach men
how to screen themselves for testicular cancer and encourage men to not
just grow a moustache, but to #SaveYourNuts, too.
Mr. Peanut teamed up with Dr. Darien Sutton-Ramsey to create a
tutorial video with step-by-step instructions on how to do a quick
self-cancer screen. View the video HERE.
“It’s important for men to conduct self-cancer screens on their
testicles regularly, however many aren’t sure how to do it,” said Dr.
Sutton-Ramsey. “In our step-by-step video, Mr. Peanut and I walk
through the three simple steps to check for any irregularities.”
To further his support for the Movember Foundation, Mr. Peanut
and the NUTmobile will be sporting moustaches throughout the
month. Mr. Peanut is also raising funds and awareness for men’s
health through his
Movember
fundraising page on Movember.com.
“Planters is proud to partner with the Movember Foundation
this year to drive awareness for men’s health issues,” said Samantha
Hess, Brand Manager at Kraft Heinz. “Mr. Peanut knows nuts, and
we’re hoping that he can help men nationwide better know their own.”
