About Movember

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of millions of

 moustaches around the world. With their “Mo’s” men raise vital funds and awareness for

 prostate and testicular cancer and mental health. As an independent global charity,

 Movember’s vision is to have an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.

HOW IT WORKS

 Movember challenges men to grow a moustache for the 30-days of November, thereby

  changing their appearance and the face of men’s health.

In October Mo Bros sign up at Movember.com, and on the 1st of Movember with a clean-

 shaven face start their Mo growing journey.

Then for the entire month, these selfless and generous men known as Mo Bros, effectively

 become walking, talking billboards for 30 days. Through their growing efforts they raise

 awareness for the often ignored issues of men’s health, by prompting conversations wherever

 they go.

Another crucial part of being a Mo Bro is to raise funds for men’s health. Men donate their

 face, and much like taking part in a run or a walk for charity, ask their family and friends to

 sponsor their efforts.

Movember’s not just for men. The women of Movember, are known as Mo Sistas. They play a

 vital role in the success of Movember by supporting and encouraging the men in their life to get

 involved. Mo Sistas also get involved by signing up at Movember.com, and participate by

 raising funds and awareness themselves. Essentially, Mo Sistas do everything that Mo Bros do, without a Mo. More about Mo Sistas here.

At the end of the month, Mo Bros and Mo Sistas celebrate their Movember journey by throwing their own Movember parties or attending one of the official Gala Partés held around the world.

THE MOVEMBER EFFECT

Movember supports world class men’s health programs that combat prostate and testicular cancer and mental health challenges. These programs, directed by the Movember Foundation, are focused on awareness and education, living with and beyond cancer, staying mentally healthy, living with and beyond mental illness and research to achieve our vision of an everlasting impact on the face of men’s health.

MOVEMBER - A GLOBAL MOVEMENT

Since its humble beginnings in Melbourne, Australia, Movember has grown to become a truly global movement inspiring more than 1.9 Million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas to participate across 21 countries worldwide.

In addition, Movember is aware of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas supporting the campaign and men's health causes across the globe, from Moscow to Rio de Janeiro, and everywhere in between.

In 2012, over 1.1 million Mo Bros and Mo Sistas around the world joined the movement, raising AUD $139.3 million.
