ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
On Movember 1st, guys can REGISTER HERE with a clean-shaven face. For the rest of the month, these selfless and generous men, known as Mo Bros, groom, trim and wax their way into the annals of fine moustachery. Supported by the women in their live, Mo Sistas, Movember Mo Bros raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.
Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words they raise awareness by prompting conversation around the often ignored issue of men's health.
At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their gallantry and valor by either throwing their own Movember party or attending one of the infamous Gala Parties held around the world by Movember, for Movember.
THE MOVEMBER EFFECT: Awareness & Education, Survivorship, Research.
The funds raised in the US support prostate cancer and other cancers that affect men. The funds raised are directed to programs run directly by Movember and our men's health partners, The Prostate Cancer Foundation and the LIVESTRONG, The Lance Armstrong Foundation. Together, the three channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programs in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.

MOVEMBER- A Global Movement
No matter the country or city, Movember will continue to work to change established habits and attitudes men have about their health, to educate men about the risks they face, and to act on that knowledge, thereby increasing the chances of early detection, diagnosis and effective treatment.
In 2010 alone, over 64,500 US Mo Bros and Mo Sistas got on board, raising $7.5 million USD.
Big steps have been taken towards changing attitudes and habits relating to men's health around the world, but there is still much to be done to catch up with the women's heatlth movement. Via the moustache, Movember aims to fulfill its vision of having an everlasting impact on the face of men's health by continuing to spark conversation and spread awareness of men's health issues each year.
