Movember Is Back, Baby! Let’s Do Some Good!

/0 Comments/in , /by

Ladies & Gentlemen, It’s Mo-Time!!!! I’m so excited to have Movember back because it gives us a chance to raise funds and awareness for Men’s Health issues. Our team looks a lot different from the rag tag group of underdogs that raised over $12,000 last year but that definitely isn’t a negative thing. We lost a few good men but gained a few new MoSistas this season and I’m thankful that we have some women who want to help out the cause. And no, they won’t be growing mustaches…

I really wanted to keep this message short and sweet, so let me just say this: We are still looking for members to join our team, so please feel free to link up with us if you are flying solo. Our team is located Right Here! You can also use that link to donate if you feel inclined to do so. I highly recommend the donating part because there are not a lot of fundraisers that are geared towards men’s health and this one is personal to me and is one of the best.

That’s all I have to say for now but don’t worry, there will be more! If you are reading this and you happen to work for a business that would like to be a corporate sponsor, I will put a 2 month ad in my sidebar for any business that donates $150 or more! This fundraiser really means a lot to me and I hope you will join us in raising funds and awareness for this great cause. Thank you so much!

November has quickly become one of my favourite months of the year! Not just because of my birthday *ahem, November 14th* but also because of a yearly tradition called, “Movember”. What began as a small fundraiser out of Australia, has quickly turned into a global phenomenon and I’m all in!

Movember is an initiative started to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health. Men around the world grow their moustaches while raising money for the cause. I’m not going to post my passport photo but let’s just say that it was taken during Movember and there was no way I was shaving that thing off before it’s time.

I don’t want to talk your ear off about it because there’s lots of time for that. What I want from you today is your upper lip. I’m looking to recruit as many MoBrotha’s and MoSista’s as I can, so we can put our faces and skills to work in raising money for this excellent initiative!

What I’m asking is that you visit our team page, Canadian Dad 2.012, and either signup as a MoBrotha or MoSista, or donate whatever you can to our team goal of $2000. Every little bit counts and on top of that, we get to have a lot of fun laughing at each other’s moustaches. And trust me, mine is ridiculous!

I always see so many teams of 3 or 4 guys, which is great, but I want to create a super team to rival all others! If we are going to put our faces on the line to be ridiculed in the name of raising money, we might as well be as big as possible and go for one of the many prizes up for grabs! C’mon, who’s with me!? We just signed Ottawa native, Mike Reynolds, who has a very cool MoTie shop on Etsy, that raises money for the cause. You can check it out at MoTies For Gals and Guys.

I just want to make it clear that our team is open to ladies as well, so please sign up and spread the good word of Movember! I am also planning a party here in Ottawa for later in November to celebrate our achievements and I can’t wait to see all the crazy Stache action!

Thank You for your time and I hope you’ll consider joining our team! Let’s have some fun with it as we help to raise awareness for men’s health! Please do not hesitate to ask any questions, I’m always here to help! Let’s Do It!

Cheers!
