Mo’s aren’t just for the Bros
The month of November is probably the only time that ladies out there might wish for the ability to grow a full moustache, as the annual fundraising event known as Movember takes place during this time. Movember is a fantastic charity that supports a range of men’s health causes through the global growing of facial hair. However, for those who want to get involved and who aren’t keen to cultivate a Mo there are actually plenty of other ways to contribute to the cause too.
Here are some suggestions for the Mo sistas out there;
Get in the spirit – of course just because you can’t grow a Mo doesn’t mean you can’t still sport one. Paint on a Mo for the month of Movember instead (or just for a day) and get sponsored to wear it to raise money. If you don’t want to do this on your face then get little Mos for your nails instead! Even just showing support to the Bros with the Mos will make you part of the cause.
Make a comedy video – if you don’t want to spend the whole of November trying to perfect the ideal pencil ‘tache (or using up all your eyeliner pen doing it) then why not make a one off video performance to support and raise money for the cause. Get some friends together and compile an amusing ‘tache centred performance while sporting comedy Mos and then extract money from friends and family for your efforts.
Give others the gift of the Mo – you can raise money as a Mo Sista by helping others get into the Mo spirit. Simply make a stash of taches from felt and other similarly Mo-like materials and then sell them to raise money for the charity. Alternatively, get out your face paints and provide a Mo service to all those who aren’t willing or able to grow one (charged per artistic ‘tache rendition of course). Theme this around a ‘wear a Mo to work’ day and you’re all set.
Have a Movember bake sale – if you’re not artistic and you can’t grow a Mo then bake one instead! Holding a bake sale is an easy way to make some cash – everyone loves cake – and it’s a great excuse to design a cake in the shape of a Mo or make individual ‘tache designs to top cute cupcakes that everyone will want a piece of. Let your creativity go wild.
Throw a Mo Sistas party – there’s no reason why the ‘tache challenged should be left out of fundraising so throw your own Mo Sistas party. Theme the food and drinks around the Mo and create fundraising activities, from special punch through to an old school raffle or a ‘best Mo Sistas Mo’ competition.
Team Chicago’s is getting into the Movember spirit this year throughout the month of November. Keep up with our shenanigans and support the team via our Movember giving page.
