The RGBSI team is fundraising to spread Movember awareness in support of men’s health. Movember is an organization that raises awareness for men tackling prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. In 2003, two men in Australia started Movember which transpired into an international phenomenon of men and women coming together to improve the future of the men’s health crisis.
Statistics:
- 1 in 9 US men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime.
- Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young American men.
- 1 man dies by suicide every minute of every day.
To show our support for this movement, RGBSI participants will grow out their facial hair for the entire month of November. For each individual that goes all month without shaving their “moustache”, RGBSI will make a monetary donation on behalf of that individual to the Movember organization. Donations will help fund health programs for men, campaign exposure of these serious men’s health-related issues, and men's health research.

A solution you can Grow yourself. It’s sitting under your nose. Grow a Mo this Movember, and you can stop men dying too young. The organization's global action plan is to connect clinicians and researchers from around the world to accelerate health outcomes for men living with prostate and testicular cancer.
