It's Movember! The month-long event where men are changing the face of of men's health and are encouraged to grow a mo (moustache) for charity.
At the beginning of November Mo Bros (men) register with a clean shaven face. All month long they go unshaven, growing facial hair, raising awareness and money for men's health and the fight against prostate and testicular cancer.
Women, while they don't grow mos, help with raising money, awareness and host gala events at the end of the month. Donations are split between the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The Prostate Cancer Foundation will use the money to fund research to find better treatments and a cure for prostate cancer. The Lance Armstrong Foundation will use the money to fund the LIVESTRONG Young Adult Alliance program and to research initiatives to further understand the biology of adolescent and young adult cancers.
Since its beginnings in 2003, Movember has raised $47 million globally making it the world’s largest charity event for men. Significantly, awareness of men’s health issues has improved with Movember helping to spread important health messages directly to millions of Mo Bros & Sistas around the world.
A fun way to make a philanthropic footprint. Want more information, visit the Movember site here or visit the Movember Foundation site here. If you'd like to make a donation click here.
