PRESS RELEASE
KitSound is proud to reveal the four new BoomBars, especially created to support Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens. Every sale of these special BoomBars will donate £1 directly to the charity, enabling them to support more children and young people with cancer.
A portable Bluetooth wireless stereo speaker that delivers impressive sound, the KitSound BoomBar is the perfect choice for bringing you closer to your music, and its simple pairing process makes it easy to connect to your device. With its built-in microphone, you can use the BoomBar as a hands-free device for taking phone calls, and its passive bass radiator creates a rich and vibrant sound.
As part of the partnership, KitSound worked with 16 year old cancer survivor Elliot to create a ‘Bravery Playlist’, including his favourite tracks that inspired him to be brave whilst undergoing his treatment. Elliot was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in September 2013, and took part in a Cancer Research UK funded trial which investigated a kinder treatment regime for children and young people. Elliot’s story, as well as more information about his inspiring tracks, can be found on any BoomBar packaging.
Cancer Research UK Kids & Teens launched in January 2015 with the aim of raising money for research specifically into cancers affecting children, teens and young adults. It aims to double the amount spent on children’s cancer research over the next 5 to 10 years, to accelerate progress and find cures and kinder treatments. All of us here at KitSound are proud to support them with our special products.
