Generation Mo: Growing Moustaches Is Our Business, and Business Is Good
Movember Encourages All Men and Women to Grow and Support Moustaches for Men's Health by Registering as an Official Participant at Movember.com
(firmenpresse) - LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 09/24/13 -- Welcome to Generation Moustache! Movember 2013 has arrived, encouraging men to grow and women to support the Mo (slang for moustache) for 30 days of November. Through the power of the moustache awareness and funds are raised for men's health to combat prostate and testicular cancer. Celebrating its tenth anniversary of changing the face of men's health, Movember once again is calling on all men and women to register at to become an official participant for this year's moustache season.
To celebrate Movember, registered men, known as Mo Bros, start November 1 clean-shaven and grow their moustache for 30 days while recruiting friends, family and colleagues to donate funds to their Mo-growing efforts. Registered women, known as Mo Sistas, are just as important to the Movember campaign and get involved in the same way as Mo Bros, except they don't have to grow a Mo. They register at Movember.com, start a team and recruit the men in their lives to participate, donate, fundraise, plan, participate in events, and encourage the men in their lives to be proactive with their health.
"Over the past 10 years, the moustache has emerged as a unifying symbol and flag bearer in the quest to combat prostate and testicular cancer," said Mark Hedstrom, Country Director at Movember. "We are inspired by each of our Mo Bros' and Mo Sistas' individual moustache journeys and look forward to building off of last year's record breaking 1.1 million participants who raised over $147 million globally, to have an everlasting impact on the face of men's health."
In 2012, more than 209,000 Americans grew and supported the Mo, raising $21,000,000 for men's health programs. In the US, programs directed by the Movember Foundation, are focused on awareness and education, living with and beyond cancer, and research to achieve everlasting positive impact on the face of men's health.
