November is approaching, and you know what that means. Men, it’s time to grow out that facial hair because No Shave November is coming up. Every November, the Movember Foundation challenges men to grow a moustache and women to support the campaign or to make a commitment to being active and move for 30 days. The Movember Foundation has created a men’s health movement of more than 5 million supporters across the world since 2003. Movember is the only global charity focused solely on men’s health.
Through the moustaches grown and the conversations generated, Movember has raised more than $769 million and helped fund 1,200 innovative men’s health projects across 21 countries. Movember encourages men to stay on top of their physical and mental health. Movember invests in these four critical areas globally: prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Since 2007, there have been more than 1 million participants in the U.S. and $124.2 million dollars raised. So, if you’re participating in No Shave November this month, put some meaning behind the moustache and donate to a great cause!
