ISELIN, N.J. - Ansell on Monday announced a partnership with The Movember Foundation for the first time in North America and will introduce a special Movember edition box of Skyn condoms available for purchase at major retailers across the U.S. and Canada.
“At LifeStyles, we share a passion for men's health that naturally aligns with the efforts of the Movember Foundation,” Carol Carrozza, Ansell’s VP sales and marketing, North America, said. “By partnering with Movember and donating proceeds from sales of our special edition Skyn condom, we are pleased to promote and support men's health, both in and out of the bedroom.”
