Like any good Canadian, I was watching Hockey Night in Canada on Saturday night and learned that almost every team in the NHL has players raising awareness of prostate cancer by growing their mustaches for Movember. Here's a clip of Anaheim tough guy George Parros shaving his famous 'stache in preparation for the competition. The Ducks have even set up a MoSpace to accept donations.
Last year, more than 1 million people supported Movember—the worldwide effort to raise funds in support of Prostate and Testicular Cancer research. Beginning November 1st, Mo Bros in more than nine countries put down their razors and said "no" to the clean-shaven look. During the next 30 days they held parties, pledge drives and even mo-contests to raise money.
This year, why not hold your own Movember event? The Movember Foundation makes it quite easy and even provides a free "party kit" to help you out containing:
- a Man of Movember Sash,
- a Miss Movember Sash,
- Posters,
- Donation Boxes,
- a Party Guide,
- Style Guides,
- Wristbands,
- Pins, and
- Stickers.
Alternatively, look for an event near you on the Movember website.
To promote awareness of Movember, the fine folks at Movember.com and Threadless teamed up on a Movember t-shirt design contest. If you're unfamiliar with Movember, it's a campaign to raise awareness and money for prostate cancer research. For the month of November, men raise awareness by growing a moustache and money be getting sponsored to do so. I'm not sure how they're going to use the t-shirt contest but so far 169 designs have been submitted. Here's my favourite.
Check out the contest and check out Movember. Remember, prostate cancer has over a 90% cure rate if it's caught in time so awareness is key.
