NADS × TCAF
NADS makes men’s underwear from certified organic cotton — because what you wear against your most sensitive skin matters. We built a brand on the belief that better ingredients and better awareness leads to better health.
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15–35. The good news: 95%+ survival rate when caught early. The bad news: most men never check. We’re changing that.

MARCH FAQ
Where does the march start and end?
We're meeting at the Top of South Congress — the final exact location will be shared just before the event. The route heads down Congress, across Congress Bridge, to the Texas State Capitol for a group photo, then reverses back to start. Total distance: 2.5–3 miles.
What do I wear?
Arrive in regular clothes. We have a changing tent at the start point. You’ll receive your free NADS pair at check-in. Wear shoes, leave the shame at home.
What time should I arrive?
Check-in opens at 10:00 AM. March departs at 10:30 AM. Arrive early to pick up your NADS and get changed at the tent without the rush.
Is it really just underwear?
Yes — and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15–35 and most never get checked because no one talks about it. Marching through downtown Austin in your underwear changes the conversation.
Where does the fundraising money go?
100% of donations go directly to TCAF (501c3). NADS covers event operating costs so every dollar you donate reaches TCAF programs.
Can I attend as a spectator?
Absolutely. Select Attending as Supporter / Spectator when registering. Bring signs. Make noise. Honk for ball health.
What if I can't attend in person?
Register as a Remote / Virtual Marcher. March wherever you are on April 12 and share with #CheckYourNuts. The event will be livestreamed on YouTube and Facebook.
Can women participate?
Yes — absolutely. Ladies will be provided with boxer shorts and a tank top at check-in. Anyone and everyone can participate. The more, the louder the message.
Tell Your Boys.
You’re registered. Challenge your crew to sign up and donate. The bigger this march, the louder the message.
