Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a worldwide moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men’s health.
Yes, this really exists. There’s even a Movember Foundation that operates under the slogan, “changing the face of men’s health.” The Movember movement started in Melbourne, Australia in 2003, and now spans the globe. On the official website of the US branch of the Movember Foundation, the challenge is described:
The Movember Foundation challenges men to start Movember 1st (November 1st) clean shaven, then grow and groom their moustache for 30 days to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for prostate and testicular cancer.
Although Movember is already under way, there are still plenty of ways that you can support this cause:
- Visit the Movember global website and select your country to find out more.
- Connect with Movember on social sites like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, YouTube, and MySpace
- Check out the Donate page to make a monetary contribution. Funds are split equally between two beneficiaries, The Prostate Cancer Foundation and The Lance Armstrong Foundation.
