it’s movember and we want to see your stache!
what is movember?
during november, men begin growing out their facial hair to raise awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer.
these men raise money through sponsorship for their efforts to maintain their mustaches in tip-top shape for the month.
want to be part of the cause, check out www.movember.com.
our neighbors at halo have a team of moustachalos and are aiming to raise $5000, this month for the worthy cause.
halo’s annual mo-raffle is going on the entire month of november, people may buy raffle tickets for $5.00 and watch facebook for the winners throughout the month of december.
thank you halo for being proactive in the movember efforts!
