4 ways to contribute to Movember (without growing a mustache)

Published

on

 

Since 2003, the Movember Foundation has helped raise funds for research initiatives involving men’s health including those pertaining to prostate and testicular cancer, mental health issues and suicide prevention. Today, over 5 million people take part in the movement, and there are many ways to do so other than growing a mustache.

  1. The Move program

Run or walk 60 miles over the month of November. That’s one mile for every man who commits suicide every minute of every hour. Alone or in a group, do it at home, outside or at the gym. Tell friends and family members about it. Some of them might join you or make a donation.

  1. Host a “Mo-ment”

Get together with friends, family members and colleagues and organize a fundraising event for the foundation.

  1. Participate in a Movember challenge

Visit the Movember website to sign up for one of the many challenges listed. They’re separated by industry type and you’re very likely to find one that’s right for you.

  1. Make a donation

Make a donation to someone involved in the campaign or give to the foundation directly by visiting us.movember.com.

This November, help raise funds and awareness for men’s health issues by participating in or contributing to a Movember initiative.
