During November, the men in your life might be sporting a different look. You might notice the men around you growing mustaches. Now, a mustache can be distinguished, but these mustaches are more than fashion. November mustaches are Movember mustaches!

What is Movember?

Movember is an annual world-wide charity event where men grow mustaches and raise money to fight prostate cancer. Participating mustache growers, known as Mo Bros, register on the Movember website with a clean shaven face. Then, as they grow their mustaches, they become “walking, talking billboards” and seek sponsorship for their efforts. The money goes toward several foundations to help fight prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men.

So if the man in your life wants to grow out his whiskers next month, show your support, and let the mustaches run free!
