Movember Campaign 2009

Have you heard of Movember? No????
Well let me tell you a little bit about it. The month formerly known as November has been changed. Movember is a moustache growing charity event, which supports awareness of men’s health issues, in particular prostate cancer.
At the start of the month clean shaven men register, and then have the rest of the month to grow a glorious moustache, raising money along the way to benefit men’s health – specifically prostate cancer. At the end of the month there are parties and galas where these “Mo Bros” can battle it out to be Mr. Movember. And doesn’t every man want to win an award for how magnificent their moustache is? What is stopping you from getting your “mo” on?
For those who participated last year – IT’S TIME…. GET YOUR FRIENDS/ FAMILY and CO-WORKERS together!!!!!
We have raised N$31 000-00 for the Movember Campaign 2008 we want to go BIGGER this year!!
The campaign is organised by its founder member Buks Gous and is assisted by Sunette Burden, all profits from the event will be donated to the Cancer Association of Namibia. For any queries please contact:
