#ChicagosMo
The month of Movember is upon us, so whether you’re readying yourself to start growing a Mo, or you’re getting involved in other ways, the fun is about to begin. Of course there are many ways that you can support Movember, from cultivating your own spectacular Mo to getting behind others who are doing it. It’s all for a great cause and we would love for you to join our Chicago’s Mo team to help us fundraise. (see our Movember page for more information about our home grown Mos).
Movember is a global campaign committed to changing the face of men’s health. It has grown from an idea between a couple of guys in Australia to an internationally recognised event that has grown to involve more than four million people all over the world. The money raised by the campaign each year goes to raise awareness specifically of testicular and prostate cancers and male mental health issues. It’s a fine cause and one that Chicago’s is proud to be getting involved with this year too
So, what are the rules of Movember? Well you must start on 1st November with a clean-shaven face and the cultivate your Mo as the month progresses. The growing of the Mo should be used to provoke conversations about men’s health issues and also to raise money (this is also a rule). If you’re planning to get your Mo on this year then why not make an event out of it – throw a ‘Shave The Date’ party on the first of the month or create a video message explaining why Movember is so important and asking friends to join in too. Whether or not you’re growing the Mo there are plenty of ways to raise money for Movember – Mo Parties take place all over the UK throughout the month and there are bake sales, ‘Wear Your Mo To Work’ days and a whole range of events with a fuzzy theme.
If you’re planning to do your bit then get in touch and share your Mo updates, photos and anecdotes. You can tweet us at @ChicagosBars. Happy Mo growing y’all!
