Australia has the highest rate of skin cancer in the world nearly 4 times that

of USA & UK

Australians are 4 times more likely to develop skin cancer than any other form

of cancer

Approximately 2 in 3 Australians will be diagnosed with skin cancer before the

age of 70

Melanoma is the MOST common

cancers in people aged 15-44 years

Skin Cancer costs the health system over $300 million

annually, the highest cost of all cancers

Over 430,000 Australians are treated for skin

cancer each year, that’s OVER 1,000 people per

day

Prevention remains the single most effective way to

save lives.

Exposure to the sun in childhood is an

important factor in the development of skin cancer later in

life

How much sun your skin receives in the first 10 years of life is really important in

determining your risk of skin cancer

later in life

Stain resistant, UV rated, hard wearing and

long lasting, so parents love it too!

Perfect for child care, kindergartens

washes off but the paint

and grime does!

You know all the great things

about Agoo right?

Agoo Activewear is cool,

funky and comfortable clothing

that kids love to wear.

Our high tech fabrics will provide

your child with UV50+ sun protection

but also keep them cool,

clothes that keep up with

your active child.

Page 12: Agoo Childcare Initiative

Many Australian parents are now

familiar with protecting their child

whilst at the beach or swimming

from the harmful effect of the harsh

Australian sun.

We ask why do we not apply

the same protection during

the day when playing

outside …….......

Look up it is the same sun!

Page 13: Agoo Childcare Initiative

If you are a 70’s child like me your childhood more than

likely didn’t include swimming in a rash-shirt

I don’t remember when they came on the scene, between me being a child and having

children

They must have been strange? innovative? But they have

change the sun safe habits of Australians around water

I can’t imagine letting my children go to the pool/beach

without one. In fact our backyard pool rules are

‘No rashie, No swim

That goes for any kid wanting a swim in my pool

We don’t know who pioneered the way with rash suits but at Agoo we are trying to pioneer the way with UV activewear. We hope that one day every child wouldn’t imagine playing outside without their UV Shirts. Education starts young and we hope if we can instil this behaviour at childcare it is a lesson they will keep for life. We hope that this will have an impact on the growing rate of skin cancer. Imagine if we can make a difference to this rate for our children’s generation.

We hope you will come on this journey with us.

We will tailor a package to suit your organisation. We recommend the centre makes the decision to include

Sun Smart Clothing as part the inclusions you offer to families.

Why do we recommend this?

As an organisation you will be innovative market leaders offering a product/service to your families that shows you have a strong commitment to

providing the best available care for the children

As market leaders you will set best practise standard by which others will aspire to achieve.

If this product is provided as an option to families that they are required to purchase separately many would miss out due to financial constraints.

As a centre you will have access to heavily discounted rates off our normal retail

prices enabling your families to benefit from the group buying power

Take a moment to read our testimonials, parents and children alike love Agoo they will thank you for providing them with such an innovative yet practical

product.

As a mother of two young boys, I find Agoo clothing fantastic. It wears well, keeps them cool, and best of all, it protects them from

the sun whilst they are out playing. They wear Agoo to the beach, to the park, to soccer

training and in and out of the water. We’d be lost without our Agoo.

Sarah, Mordialloc VIC

I must give you some feedback on the Glamour Pants and Wave Tee I ordered. How well do they wash? Just brilliant! My daughter spilt strawberry all down the front of her top at the park and the pants receive a good work out with grass stains and dirt, but they came

up like new. I was very impressed.

Lynette, Mosman NSW

The boys both love their Agoo. Everything fits really well and both boys haven't taken their

clothes off - Toby is currently in track pants, long top, jacket and socks and thinks

he is wearing it all to bed. Meanwhile, Eddie is in his muscle tee

Anita, Warriewood NSW

I'd like to say that I love the colours of the activewear and the cut of the jacket is so cute. Even my husband commented on her

funky, sporty outfit!

Jen-See Paroz, Perth WA

My children ask if the can wear their Agoo clothing, especially for the beach, the pool, at

the park and even circus class. It suits all activities and they are comfortable all day

Sue, Wollongong NSW

Audrey was so excited to get her 'present' when it arrived and she loves wearing the jumper and practising using the zip! The fabrics are so soft and comfy and most importantly easy to clean. I have been

recommending your products to all of my friends with busy kids and the outfits speak for themselves, everytime Audrey wears her Agoo outfit people ask us where to get them

and she's loving the compliments.

Solution focussed, driven, problem solvers, philanthropic and socially conscious. These are attributes Alison Covington and Susan Wallis demonstrate in their personal as well as business dealings. If they see a problem they feel compelled to assist, which is exactly how Agoo

came to Australia

Alison left a highly successful corporate career to introduce Agoo Activewear. Having been personally touched by Melanoma, and concerned about the screen culture of today’s young kids, Alison wanted to make a difference in the activity levels and sun protection habits of the

next generation.

Alison was amazed that a product so perfect for the Australian climate and lifestyle was not available in this country. With such a high rate of sun related cancer, it was a product this country had to have. So she made it happen.

Agoo Activewear is cool, funky and comfortable clothing that kids love to wear. Stain resistant, UV rated, hard wearing and long lasting, so

parents love it too! Perfect for child care, kindergartens and pre-school as the sunscreen never washes off but the paint and grime does!

UV Protection …...........… not just at the beach. Many Australian parents are now familiar with protecting their child whilst at the beach or swimming from the harmful effect of the harsh Australian sun.

We ask why do we not apply the same protection during the day when playing outside …… look up it is the same sun.

Our high tech fabrics will provide your child with UV50+ sun protection but also keep them cool, clothes that keep up with your active child.

Alison is a ‘social entrepreneur who has always been committed to charitable and philanthropic projects. Whilst also working full time as a Director of an international corporation, Alison spearheaded Allsorts by Ali, a volunteer enterprise comprising of friends and family. This

team handmade, packed, distributed and sold chocolates, with ALL proceeds going to charities and local families in need.

Alison also seeks opportunities to assist business colleagues and friends along the way, providing mentoring, advice and coaching one on one

and in online forums. Alison also has successful business consultancy and is passionate about assisting others follow their passion and reach their full potential.

Follow your passion, and success will follow you.-- Arthur Buddhold

Working alongside Alison is lifelong friend Susan Wallis. Who not only supports the sun safe and active living message that drives Alison, but also has a personal passion for supporting families and children touched by disability, as her own has been. Susan is inspired by a comment

made by Alison, who felt she had a responsibility to advocate for families who could not do so themselves.

Susan combines her customer and communication related role at Agoo, with an active lifestyle and community involvement in areas related to disability. A board member on two committees, and inspiring guest speaker and presenter in the disability sector, Susan takes her role as an

advocate seriously.

Giving Susan the most joy is combining her commitment to living an active life with fundraising, the goal being to support the organisations that have assisted her family in their disability journey. Undertaking the Sydney City to Surf fun run along with other team members, Susan has helped raise almost $10,000 for different organisations in the last 3 years alone. She takes her personal responsibility to stay strong and

healthy seriously, and hopes to inspire parents of other children, especially those of special needs, to do the same.

Social responsibility, and a ‘pay it forward’ attitude, drives Agoo Australia, as demonstrated by fundraising campaigns, joint ventures and alliances with like minded organisations who share their vision to get kids more active and safer in the sun.
