Movember

For those of you who are unfamiliar with the term "Movember", here's a brief history lesson.

Movember is a hybrid word for "Mo" as in moustache and November. The basic ideology behind the term is for men to grow a moustache throughout the month of November. Your initial question most likely is...why? Why would you dedicate a month to growing one of the least attractive facial hair styles? (no offense if you rock a moustache the 11 other months of year, be proud that you can pull it off as very few can)

The idea began in 2003 in Melbourne, Australia in the idea of bringing back the moustache as a joke, but also raising awareness to men's health issues. In 2004, Movember became an official campaign and was directed towards fundraising and raising awareness for prostate cancer. The campaign quickly spread internationally. In 2009, nearly 256,000 men sported the stache with over one million raising 42 million for Movember's charity partners.

So...to help the cause a few of the fellas at cascade are attempting to sport the stache for Movember (some are adopting beard-vember). Its been a rough start, and we very well might scare off business this month, but we're down with anything that supports the cause. Be sure to visit our Facebook page throughout the month to track our progress.
